What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut is a Metroidvania platformer with some charm, but looses some of that charm due to PC port quirks, paper thin plot, and somewhat confusing backtracking mechanics
The gameplay is fine, but lost it's luster for me quickly and the thin plot and simple characters demotivated me from sticking with it.
Risky's Revenge is a passable platformer that has stiff controls, it's better parts are the appealing visuals and it's energetic soundtrack creating a charming audio-visual experience.
- A great soundtrack
