While not good enough to overtake the games that inspired it, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a remarkable action platformer that does plenty to make a name for itself.

Although its dialogue might be a bit laborious to get through at times and its price tag a bit hefty, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition is without a doubt one of the best platformers out on a modern-day console.
