What players think
The recurring themes across 67 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Savage: The Shard of Gosen is a beautiful game with fun combat, great music, and a healthy dose of NES era difficulty and 80's nostalgia.
The platforming gameplay is fun and easy to grasp, the graphical style is fitting and pleasant to look at, and the setting and dialogue feel like a spot-on homage to Robert E.

The sound design fits really well.
There's a lot to love - the visuals, storytelling and writing, music, and gameplay.
