dev is doing himself a huge disservice still keeping phase 3-6 as a roadmap, game is finished, all phases are delivered. im not a metroidvania guru nor im very experienced in these type of games, but i had a blast, there are some moments (like one or two) when you will get your butt kicked, well, just get good, i died at least 15 times on first boss - thinking that maybe i should go somewhere else and lvl up - nope - there is no somewhere else, you need to obliterate him. story is cool, graphics are great, you can easly traverese through entire map via anchors, upgrades in majority are meaningful. just a solid platfromer/logic/metroidvania title, get it and enjoy, no major issues observed. also if you are a dentist practitioner you will find a mini game just to fulfill your dark desires your are unable to address during normal work hours.

This is a very unique game. It is quite rough around the edge, some elements are not polished enough, and a low budget is visible (e.g., movement is a bit clunky, combat has a lot of useless combos, and there are only 2 true boss fights). At the same time, it's a very original metroidvania! Instead of having a standard set of metroidvania moves (e.g., double jump, dash, wall-jump, wall-break), many of the game's upgrades are tools for solving fairly difficult puzzles that block your way (e.g., configurable, decoding device). This is an extremely refreshing idea for someone like me who likes both metroidvania and puzzle games. Adding to it the whole theme of the game Lovecraftian murder mystery with great lore (and great art design), we got a really captivating experience. I highly recommend it, and I would love to see a continuation.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is honestly a breath of fresh air if you're looking for something atmospheric and story-driven. The art direction is just stunning, capturing that dark, Lovecraftian horror vibe perfectly. Gameplay-wise, it’s a metroidvania, but not in the typical hack-and-slash sense. Here, the focus is on puzzles rather than action, which I found really refreshing. Some of the puzzles are genuinely challenging, requiring you to put real thought into solving them, which feels pretty rare in games nowadays. Not all of them are super clear, though; a few could’ve used better hints to point you in the right direction. But if you’re into games that make you slow down and engage your brain, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Combat is there, too, but it’s not the main focus. You do get some cool abilities and upgrades, but unfortunately, a lot of them come really late in the game, so you don’t get as much time to play around with them as you might want. Still, there’s a decent range of items and abilities, so you can find a playstyle that suits you. The tarot card mechanic, though, feels like it was tacked on without much thought - interesting in theory, but not really impactful. All in all, The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a solid pick if you’re after a metroidvania with a focus on story and atmosphere over action. It’s a great mix of mystery and horror, built around a fascinating narrative that keeps you curious.

July 2024

A pretty cool, neat little game with an emphasis on puzzles and collectables. The combat is rather stiff and awkward at times, but at least the game is not as buggy as it was at release. Would highly recommend if you like collecting items, solving puzzles, and scratching that Metroid-Vania itch of slowly unveiling a map over time and abilities.

April 2024

6/10 This game is a piece of contradiction. It has a beatiful graphics, but game keep stuttering and lagging even on RTX4090. There are a lot of nice puzzles, but you are not explained where to search for answers or how you should solve it. To mitigate this issue they added skip puzzle button... It's somewhere between good and bad.
