I never grew up with the original MediEvil and now I wish I did because this game rules. Many criticize this game for keeping a lot of the PS1-era jank; I played this and went "oh yes, more of this please".
Honestly, this felt more like what I want a faithful remake of a PS1 game to feel like than even N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited. You mean to tell me that they had the original level geometry, used most of the original voice acting (and even brought Sir Dan's VA back to mumble more lines), kept a lot of the original programming, AND, to top it all off, gave you the option to play a ROM of the original game as an unlockable bonus mode? What a labor of love that feels mildly slept on.
