On paper, Voidwrought is an excellent Metroidvania that we particularly recommend to fans of the genre, offering fluid and enjoyable gameplay mechanics. However, the title ultimately delivers what can only be described as a 'homework assignment.' While exploration is undoubtedly the game's strong suit, its combat system, while theoretically sound, suffers from some execution issues, quickly becoming repetitive and mundane due to the game's overall lack of challenge. Fortunately, this somewhat precarious structure is supported by an impeccable art direction that leaves a lasting impression on the player.

Clock Tower undoubtedly deserves its place among the legends of video games, and we highly recommend that anyone even vaguely interested experience this old gem firsthand. While the port could have perhaps offered more after so many years since the initial release, when an artistic direction and gameplay concept are flawless, it's hard to improve without compromising the original. Rewind now provides the first official way to get lost in the corridors of the Barrows mansion.

Shadow of the Damned is a rough diamond, with its raw edges adding to its charm. While more could have been done to modernize the experience, this is still the best way to enjoy Garcia's wild adventure. Those who own the original have little reason to revisit this reissue, but for newcomers exploring these infernal streets, it's highly recommended.
