Muito bom e divertido. Só penso ser um erro não haver lutas contra chefões nos mapas, seria bem melhor se houvesse!

Un muy buen juego del estilo de los ya conocidos Prince of Persia, Flashback y Another World, pero más enfocado en la acción.

Buen gameplay y buena dificultad.
El hecho de que tenga passwords hace que la dificultad y ritmo del juego no sean tan frustrantes.

um dos meus jogos favoritos, só deveria ser um pouco mais curto

Another cinematic platformer in the vein of Flashback and Prince of Persia, this time starring a COOL DUDE and his COOL GUN!! For a while it's actually quite nice, but it's far too long in the tooth for what it is and doesn't have enough changes in scenery. Ultimately becomes a slog in the back half, though still pretty alright. The only thing I outright dislike is the gunplay mechanics, they're similar to the swordfighting in Prince of Persia in that they're both a huge pain in the ass and could benefit a ton from just being simpler. I think that's a good way to sum up Blackthorne, really - its full potential could've been realized if it was shorter and simpler. I really do like most of what's on display here, but it was starting to feel like it would go on forever.

possibly the worst-controlling game I've ever played. Unbelievable that the controls are so rough that they introduce jank in a game with no jank.

Only played a little bit of this... but it seems like it could be cool? Maybe I'll get to it one day.
