Journey Across Bits And Pixels In The Messenger – Review (PC)
Following in the footsteps of the recent explosion of 8-bit and 16-bit retro throwbacks, The Messenger aims to lure players in with its nostalgia and keep them around with versatile platforming and fast paced action. As the first game from new developer Sabotage Studio, The Messenger does a good job of making you feel like a badass and a lightning quick ninja, and adds a unique twist in combining both 8 bit and 16 bit art styles. The focus here is on rapid and frantic movement as you dodge, glide, leap, and rappel your way through levels. There’s not a whole lot here that is new, but it is fun and invigorating nonetheless.
