I remember seeing this lanky ass derp boi in my childhood years. The original MediEvil's cover art terrified me, and he continued to haunt me as I owned some sort of demo disk with the game on it. Sir Daniel Fortesque horrified me, which is a little strange since him and his world were inspired by the art of Tim Burton and I fuckin LOVED Nightmare Before Christmas. Time-skip to high school (during my Xbox years) and I buy a PS Vita with Christmas money literally just so I can play Playstation Allstars Battle Royale. Sir Dan becomes my main and I slay some mofos with the skeletal doof, friends included. I also buy MediEvil Resurrected to get my first taste of what his games are. Love it.

Now here we are. Sir Daniel is back, refurbished in HD and ready to fight. MediEvil, much like the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, is recreated from the ground up. Although while Crash and Spyro had the big bucks funding their return, Daniel's back with a much smaller budget. One that only gets you 1 game remade instead of 3, but hey I'll take what I can get. MediEvil's back with its Tim Burton flair, Danny Elfman inspired music, goofy voice acting, and british humor. It takes the story and characters of the original PS1 version but uses the sleaker game mechanics of the PSP version, Allowing for easier movement and attacks.

While I loved playing it, my main problem with the game were framerate drops. Any time there's multiple enemies or you wanna use a flashy move the game will stutter. It gets annoying after a while. I've heard reviewers complain about glitches but I never ran into those at all. I hope this made enough money because I would really like them to remake MediEvil 2, and maybe even begin work on a brand new third entry based off original plans and concepts for it.
