What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is kind of silly (more of an excuse for the game to exist and have its levels) but even so, the exploration and gameplay are still fun.
You start off with very rough, almost vector-like visuals, then move through 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit styles, eventually reaching what would be considered RTX-level graphics.
EvoWave is a 3D platformer heavily inspired by geek culture and retro gaming, with gameplay that closely resembles the original PlayStation 1 Crash Bandicoot.
The soundtrack is excellent.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
