    Axiom Verge is a very cool and subversive game. It is heavily inspired by classic Metroid, and borrows many of its design ideas from it. However, it still manages to be unique and subversive while nailing that Metroid feel. The aspect I love most is the atmosphere; there is a kind of engrossing and mysterious horror to the game that is just awesome to explore. The music, art, environments, and designs are striking…

    The game is well made, but the competition is way too high in 2026 for it to be considered some timeless hit. It's a solid metroidvania game with well thought out mechanics, intriguing level design and interesting graphics style but that's all what it is, nothing more.

    I really want to give this a good review but the game is tedious and gives you no real lead or marker to use. Which is fine. I get it. Yet some of the weapons abilities aren't explained well so it becomes confusing.
