GO BERSERK!!
Berserk Boy has this amazing ability to successfully pull together things I love like the high-speed allure of Sonic, the boss battles, progression and style of the Mega Man Z/X series, and even precision platforming reminiscent of Celeste. The best part of this fusion of inspirations is that goes beyond just homages to make some that feels totally new and different. Keeping true to a retro aesthetics but with welcome modern sensibilities. The journey is filled with gorgeous pixel art and matched with a RIPPING soundtrack. There's a lot to love here and you can just feel the passion throughout. Just when I thought I'd had my fill with the main campaign things like the EX Missions started to really give me a test and flex the design. There's enough here to be worth it but it stays tight at the core because it cuts bloat. I know I'll be revisiting this one over again when I've got a classic itch! Big Recommend.
((ALSO MY FRIEND MADE THIS GAME I AM FULLY BIASED I DON'T CARE I AM PROUD OF HIM))
