Make it through a challenging encounter unscathed, pulling off backflips mid-air to reload your guns, block incoming projectiles and take out multiple enemies in one cunning stunt will make you feel like an absolute badass. It’s just a shame that at times it feels a little bit too demanding and punishing simply for the sake of it.

For those who can wrap their mind around the game's unique approach to traversal, Laika: Aged Through Blood offers some zen-like \"flow-state\" moments that fully deliver on the game's full-throttled power fantasy. For others, attempting the same sections over and over again will be an exercise in frustration that dilutes the experience's high points. And, unfortunately, the game's performance on the Switch leaves a lot to be desired, especially in a title where one-hit kills give way to a need to jump right back into the action.","https:\u002F\u002Fgamerant.com\u002F\u002Flaika-aged-through-blood-review\u002F","2025-02-01","8",{"id":121,"author":122,"outlet":125,"summary":130,"review_url":131,"review_date":132,"original_score":133,"normalized_score":61},76937,{"id":123,"name":124},5581,"Miguel Moran",{"id":126,"logo":127,"name":128,"website_url":129,"score_format":56},56,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F","Laika: Aged Through Blood is a haunting metroidvania unlike any other.
