To be fair, when I first saw this game I was quite unsure about what was going to be presented. The graphics and logo are both amazing to look at, but we all know that usually doesn’t translate over into gameplay. Luckily, Ariana and the Elder Codex really managed to shock me on the gameplay.
Platformers are pretty cool as long as they’re combined with satisfying combat. I was not expecting a beautiful, fluid, combo-based platformer game. It looks absolutely AMAZING and is right up my alley. I’m definitely looking forward to playing it when it releases. I’ll be keeping an eye out on it. The only problem is that I don’t really use my console much anymore, and have to settle for the Playstation 4 version if I want to play it on the earliest release on March 24th, 2026. Steam is my preferred choice, but it has a vague period of release set in Spring of 2026.
