The Messenger is a retro-styled action platformer by Sabotage Studio, featuring tight platforming and humor, with a mid-game shift to Metroidvania elements that introduces backtracking.
Critics' Consensus
“The Messenger excels with tight platforming mechanics, a gorgeous retro aesthetic, and witty humor, but its mid-game shift to Metroidvania elements introduces repetitive backtracking and pacing issues. Despite these flaws, the strong core gameplay and charm make it a worthwhile experience for fans of classic action platformers.”
