GigaSword

9/10

Isn’t it nice when a game comes out of nowhere and totally blows you away with its brilliance? GigaSword is one such game, a completely gorgeous nostalgia-soaked love-letter to the NES gaming era and metroidvanias.

GIGASWORD is a difficult retro action-platformer. It won't hold your hand, and it requires focus. But the journey is a rewarding one, built on a strong foundation of lore and hard-hitting action.

7/10

GIGASWORD is a fresh 2D metroidvania that balances puzzles and action quite well. Yet similar to the massive sword Ezra wields, the game at times weighs itself down.
