Sir Daniel Fortesque was my childhood hero, and I definitely enjoyed playing "MediEvil" again after so many years. It reminded me why I liked it so much when I was little: the quirky characters, the Burtonesque art direction, and an impressive variety of locations and enemies for its time.
This remake is visually gorgeous and leaves the atmosphere of the original intact., but the gameplay and level design are carbon copy. I understand that there was probably not much budget, but all we get are the exact same mechanics of a PSOne game with minor tweaks and revamped graphics. The combat system and camera are as rough and clunky as they were in the nineties, as if the developers had no ambition to improve our gaming experience. As I like old-fashioned games it was not a big problem for me, but there is no way the franchise will attract new fans in 2019.
