Will definitely be playing this after I finish Hollow Knight . The trailer had me and the review scores are the icing on the cake.

Hmm, can the character be moved with the left butons ? My left stick is acting up and I don't think buying a new one would be reasonable this time of the month.

it's 30% off on Steam today. is it totally worth it? I'm super tempted to pull the trigger.

I don't think it's great, personally. Level design is mediocre and it's way too easy -- nothing like the Ninja Gaiden games that inspired it.

I believe it's worth it on a cheap price (idk what's the exact price at the moment).
While difficulty wise it's NOTHING compared to old Ninja Gaiden games, the soundtrack and different levels made it worthwhile.
There's a reason this game has some nominations for the Game Awards, even if one does not pay much attention to those awards.

I'm not sure what else was nominated but a lot of amazing indie games came out this year, and so I can't really see The Messenger making the ranks, but to each his own.

The soundtrack, really? I heard from people who care deeply about that aspect that it was disappointing.

Definitely don't see why they would think so, it's a great soundtrack.

It's a really clever, inventive game. no la mulana 2, not by a long shot, but it's good, quality wise. Really good. Felt more fresh than Hollow Knight to me, for example. It does do a lot more than one might originally expect.

Absolutely. The 2nd half of the game is weaker, but that's to say it's still really good. The action and movement in the game is so god damn satsifying too. I didn't care much for the story, but the humor and dialogue is great without being cringey. And of course graphically it's gorgeous.

Also, listen to this:
