Bellissimo remake, e l'originale fu il mio primo videogioco️ Un peccato che non facciano un remake del 2,mi piacerebbe moltissimo.

It's good, old Medievil - but graphically cranked up! Everything that you remember fondly from the original is here - the humor, crazy writing, even crazier characters. It is a walk down memory lane, but one that's quite pleasant. I knew what I was in for, and was not disappointed. It plays surprisingly faithfully, so faithfully in fact that a lot of glitches and camera issues are still present in this remake (for better or worse). Personally didn't bother me as much but if you're expecting incredibly polished game this isn't it. It's still good - but "only" good. Sir Daniel Fortesque is back from the dead - but aside from graphical enhancements this plays like an original game. Decide for yourself if this is good enough for you.

Just all around not a very enjoyable gaming expirience, controls feel clanky and not very responsive. Kinda underwhelming for a game that came out in 2019.

MediEvil Remake è un’operazione fortemente legata alla nostalgia, che riporta in vita uno dei titoli più iconici dell’era PlayStation con un comparto tecnico e artistico modernizzato, ma senza rinnovarne realmente la struttura. L’avventura di Sir Daniel Fortesque conserva intatto il suo stile gotico-cartoon, ancora oggi ricco di personalità e fascino. La direzione artistica è il punto di forza del remake, con ambientazioni e **** fedeli all’originale ma visivamente più curati. Meno convincente, invece, il gameplay: i controlli risultano rigidi e il sistema di combattimento appare datato, evidenziando il peso degli anni. Il level design mantiene una buona varietà e una discreta presenza di segreti, mentre il comparto sonoro, grazie a musiche riarrangiate con cura, contribuisce efficacemente all’atmosfera. La longevità è contenuta e le novità rispetto al titolo originale sono limitate, rendendo l’esperienza consigliata soprattutto ai fan **** complesso, MediEvil Remake è un ritorno rispettoso e piacevole, ma troppo conservativo per distinguersi davvero come remake moderno.

In 2025 i finished for the first time MediEvil after only memories and a PS1 demo consumed from re-playing. This remastered sent Sir Daniel Fortesque in the modern era, fantastically in every aspect. Graphic, gameplay, music, sound (yeah the italian dub is still the original orrid trasposition but is still ok) the game offered a fantastic run, that could have been ended in a single sit, but still the ideas from the achievements makes you stay and explore deeply the whole graveyard and replay it a lot till platinum. Vote 9!

MadiEvil - 66/100 Довольно не плохая игрушка, не ожидал челенджа в сложности, а на некоторых боссов ушло несколько траев, но вот как раз таки ожидал нормального управления и камеры которых в игре не оказалось, из-за чего и была главная сложность, поиграть можно, но даже ремастер играется довольно по старенькому. Много разного оружия с которым будешь играть, хоть по сути и меняешь его сразу же когда получаешь новое.

One of my favourites games of all time I love it is so good. Ok is well worth playing

This remake is pretty good and veryfaithful to the original game. The perfect vote is 7,5

Rating a remake is always difficult, as expectations vary so strongly. Some people want it to be just like the original but prettier, others want it to reinvent the old and often outdated gameplay to meet modern standards. This remake surely takes the first route and is basically the old game in a new engine. I assume anybody born after the turn of the millenium would have trouble to understand why this game is such a gem, as it is a remnant of an era long gone. I, however, played the original on release and loved reliving this experience in modern day graphics just as much as I enjoyed playing the original as a child.

Almost one playthrough Tbh I was enjoying the game. It was flawed but it had its charms. Right until I reached the ship level near the end. That part was so infuriating and annoying. After finally reaching the end, I got stuck on a god damn bug. So I deleted it then and there. It is definitely a fun game but bothered the **** out of me. I rarely leave games unfinished.Sadly this here was the case

Funny remark: This game has some skeletons, particularly Daniel, in its closet. They may not have improved aspects like camera, fighting and movement (particularly jumping), it's still a good PS4 remake.

It's AmAzing, One of my favorite games of all time and I only played the PS4 version, it is as good as Nigjtmare Before Christmas but in game form .

Ce jeu nous offres littéralement le jeu original qui ce débloque après avoir fini le remaster a 100% le jeu a étais bien retravaillé on sens la différence avec le jeu de base on notera une très bonne vf et des meilleurs contrôle

There is a bit of a learning curve to really get the hang of it, and sometimes it felt a bit clunky on just running the sword. But, this game is so full of charm and fun. The only other criticism I have is it could have kept a bit more of the jagged edges and grime from the original game. I also love what they've done though. The weapons are all fun, the story isn't complex, but fun and enough, and the boss fights are good and have a variety to them. Please do a MediEvil 2 remake!!

I tried for over 1 hour but it's just too difficult and the save point is the beginning of the mission, so for me it's not worthy the effort.

Medievil è un gioco molto divertente ma soprattutto un ottimo passatempo. Io non ho giocato all'originale ma posso dire che fa resuscitare i morti. Ha molti indovinelli da risolvere e varietà di nemici. Davvero fantastico

Well, the game was done with some love, but it does not help it and save from the obsolete everything. If PS1 was a fresh air in setting, unusual gameplay mechanics and original NPCs and main character, the 2024 lacks in everything as all these are not fresh for obvious reasons. Strangely, it also becomes challenging in combat after 30 minutes in the game and absolutely unnecessarily. Making it less challenging would be much more fun for casual players. I understand dark greyish gamma, however more contrast would be much more satisfying. Overall, the game does not make any achievements in meaningful aspects of the game design.

An amazing experience. This remake has everything the original had plus some amazing graphics.

Everything is great about this game but the combat honestly. I wish they would have figured out a way to reinvent that for the remake but it's awesome it stays true to the original.

MediEvil is a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Other Ocean Emeryville and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The original MediEvil, released in 1998 for PS1 was one of my favorite games as a kid, especially because of its atmosphere. The combat was dull, but decent; both camera & platforming weren't really good, but at least passable. To adapt these things in 2019 (shortly after the remakes of successful PS1 games - Crash & Spyro - that are very different from MediEvil, starting with the fact the later has a health bar and is more of an action game, albeit an old one, without complex combos, hit counters, but still with platforming elements) certainly required decisions that would affect the game's reception. Making a completely remade camera & combat that could live up to modern standards would also require remaking everything about the game. It could've been good, if done well, as long as it still captured the atmosphere of the original, or could be a complete disaster. The safer, cheaper option was, of course, to copy the original MediEvil's flawed design and just throw it under new visuals (for short, this game chose the safer option and still failed), even if this would end up more of a niche game destined to people who played the original rather than newcomers. I'm part of the first, while I admit some levels can be frustrating because of the way Sir Daniel Fortesque jumps and the camera behaves, I've played it countless times through childhood / adolescence that I know it like the palm of my hand, and find the idea of asking for the game devs to include "checkpoints" something laughable as it'd break the flow of the original. But I'm not satisfied with this game, it feels much more like a low budget copy than a definitive edition, the last nail in the coffin of what could be otherwise a successful franchise. The HUD is terrible: the health bar take more space than the original and goes against basic game design, the addition of a shield bar that wasn't present in the original makes things worse, as does the circle with Dan's head. The font used in the game is also much more cartoony than the original, and the narrator, while she did a good job, didn't need to narrate every line of written lore found throughout the game. You can change between 2 selected weapons on the run (as in Medievil II) except that in this case it uses the triangle button, the same used for every other action in game. The super bright "wisp" keeps aiming at talking NPCs and books instead of enemies, it's just poorly programmed & even more poorly presented as it looks like the work of college freshmen dealing with something made decades before they were born. The graphics have ok textures for most part, with some noticeable exceptions in fog areas, but also look stuck between an intent to appear cartoony & realistic at the same time, and missing the point of the original. But many assets are reused in different levels, such as windows, and it hurts the experience since the original didn't recycle them as much between levels. Enemies & backgrounds are much brighter and saturated than the original, the night doesn't even look like night in some levels. Some enemy designs look goofier than before. The new camera is useless since it doesn't work on all levels or even allow you to jump. Dan's head & neck bones keep floating all the time. His walking animation is ridiculous. The soundtrack is mostly copied from the Resurrection (PSP, 2005) save a few new tracks which completely miss the dark atmosphere of the original (especially Dan's Crypt, Ant Caves & Pools of the Ancient Dead). These tracks are stuck in "dynamic" mode which means you'll only hear the full tunes in most levels when there are foes around, but those are few and easy to kill. In other levels the music changes abruptly into another unrelated score recycled from Resurrection. But the worst part of this remake are the cutscenes (& Zarok's Maleficent inspired redesign of course), with wrong camera angles, poor rendering, objects cutting through other objects, that display the rush that mobile game devs Other Ocean had to finish this, or that they were more worried adding useless Mr Apples in the levels than fixing its base problems only to get a token of approval from nostalgic fans who don't remember the original very well. Even the PS1 cinematics were much greater in scale, render and presentation. The final cutscene in special pales in comparison to the original, that it makes the whole experience feel like a wasted opportunity. This game only stained the noble but few merits of an original whose limits were understandable for the time, and now are sported like just intentionally poor design. I bought it day one & platinumed it in a day but recommend to play the original and MediEvil II instead (this remake includes the original, in a square screen aspect, if you finish a certain quest, perhaps only as a way for the devs to show you how the original is better). Even Resurrection got more spirit than this one, though that one also feels odd in comparison to the original.

Un remake davvero ben fatto. Grafica migliorata parecchio, ma il bello è che i livello sono davvero simili all'originale, senza aggiungere che anche lasciare i dialoghi e le voci originali sono stata una scelta davvero azzeccata! PS. Vi suggerisco di trovare tutte le anime smarrite, riceverete una bellissima sorpresa. +++++++ A really well done remake.Graphics improved a lot, but the great thing is that the levels are really similar to the original, without adding that leaving the original dialogues and voices was a really good choice!PS.I suggest you find all the lost souls, you will receive a beautiful surprise.

An und für sich ein witziges oldschool Spiel. Ich hatte nie das Original gespielt. Wollte aber mal alte PlayStation Nostalgie schnuppern. Man merkt schon, dass sich in der letzten Zeit viel an Optionen getan hat. Kein anvisieren der Gegner, Kamera mehr schlecht als recht und das Kampfsystem ist halt oldschool Button mashing. Insgesamt überlebt der Titel den Alltags Test nicht mehr. Trotz dessen war ich angefixt und habe es durchgespielt. Mit bisschen mehr Liebe und Zeit sowie paar Updatesfür die aktuelle Spielerschaft könnte ich mir den Titel echt gut vorstellen. So ist er doch recht krampfhaft und zum Teil nervig. Daher„nur“ 7/10 Punkten.

I’ve only played the remake and only the beginning. It seems like a nice classic. But the lack of update to auto save means you might have to start a whole level over again. This is the accepted price of playing old games on old systems but I hope for minimal upgrades to not just graphics on remasters. And by todays standards this game does not respect my time. Still, it seems above average and I miss this style of game. But not having to do the whole level again.

Volver a manenjar a Sir Daniel en este Remake. Me gusto mucho las mejoras graficas manteniendo la ambientacion del original. Vemos algunos ecenarios nuevos y el añadido de las Gemas del Dragon; y como jugar a la version Original de Medievil de PS1 al completar el juego.

Se ve como porqueria.

Empeora la versión original.

good remake, but the controls still feel clunky, which made me give up halfway.

I hope Sony port it to PCs!! And make and a Remaster of Medievil 2!! And why not to continue this series to Medievil 3 and more!!

Medievil, tanto en su version original como remasterizada, es un juego divertido con una atmosfera muy identitaria. Es un hack and slash con algun que otro control tosco en la version de PS1 y con algunas zonas de plataformas que bajan la valoracion del juego. - Narrativa: Buena-Mantiene en vilo de principio a fin - Jugabilidad: Irregular- La accion es divertida y eliminar a los enemigos mola, pero en ocasiones resulta complicado atacarles ya sea por la camara o porque el juego no esta diseñado a que vengan varios enemigos a la vez, siendo complicado salir indemne. La plataforma es totalmente insatisfactoria. - Reto: Facil con fases algo mas complicadas-resulta algo aburrido - Universo: Único-un mundo especial, nunca antes visto y que abre mi imaginación a un punto que yo no concebía - Banda Sonora: Se adapta bien y no desentona en ningun momento Tiene un encanto especial Medievil, es un juego con un claro toque tenebroso, donde el protagonista se enfrenta a enemigos clasicos de peliculas de terror, pero todo con un aire desenfadado (hasta infantil se podria decir). Resulta divertido de jugar con ganas de ver el proximo entorno al que te enfrentas, pero le falta un reto jugable superior ya que al final uno escoge la mejor arma blanca o de distancia y no hace mayores analisis de estrategia antes los enemigos. El juego falla claramente en el plataformeo y en la camara. Sir Daniel Fortesque tiene carisma y uno entiende el impacto alla en 1998, pero no lo veo para hacer una saga o tercera entrega con estos mimbres, algo debiles para aguantar mas de una entrega.

The overall score is based on how much fun I personally had with every component of the game and the overall experience.

It's truly disheartening to give this game an average rating, considering how much I adored the original release and my anticipation for the current-generation re-release. The visual design is undeniably stunning, and I appreciate the approach of light remaking (rather than a complete overhaul). However, the game falls short in terms of polish, as I noticed instances where characters interacted strangely with the level geometry. I encountered several game-breaking glitches, including getting stuck inside walls, which required a restart. Such issues were simply unacceptable.

Jedna z lepszych gier platformowych jakie widziałem w życiu. Motyw jak i stylistyka gry ma w sobie taką głębie, że wyśmienicie się przechodzi między poziomami tego świata. Uwielbiam w grach to, że dają wrażenie tajemniczości, przez co gracz może sobie dopowiedzieć resztę co daje niesamowite pole dla wyobraźni. Moje serce skradła również muzyka jak i efekty dźwiękowe stworów i broni. Mocno liczę na remaster drugiej części, bo pierwszy wyszedł twórcom obłędnie.

As someone who absolutely loved the PS1 original back in the day and also enjoyed the PSP psuedo remake I have to say that this game is just one giant missed opportunity. The devs had an oppurtunity to beef up the gameplay and bring up to a more modern standard thereby appealing to a newer generation of gamers but instead all they did was remake the visuals. What was once a chatming and unique Tim Burtonesque 3d platformer in the late 90s is noe a clunky tedious mess that will only appeal to those who are nostalgic for the original. Its a shame that the devs didnt do more because this remake couldve reinvigorated the franchise.

As always, ignore the critics, this is an excellent remake. Charming music and visuals. It’s hard, but fair. Getting all collectibles isn’t tedious in the slightest, which is a big plus in my book.

Es un juego muy divertido, muy fiel al original y con una dirección artística sensacional. El problema que tiene este remake para mi es que es excesivamente difícil. Tienes una pociones que actúan como depósitos de vida. Es decir, que si te mueres, se usa la poción de vida para restaurar la vida al completo. ¿Cual es el problema? Que los enemigos son muy difíciles de derrotar (hablo de los enemigos normales) y claro, mantener las distancias sería lo ideal, pero tienes una espada con poca fuerza y un arco con pocas flechas y poco potente. Entonces, cuando te enfrentas cara a cara a otro enemigo normal, a veces supone perder casi la mitad de la vida si eres descuidado con las distancias y el tiempo de reacción. Tu mejor baza entonces es huir de los enemigos en vez de enfrentarte a ellos. Lo peor de todo es que las pociones de vida escasean por todo el juego. Y no solo eso. Si mueres, no reapareces en un «checkpoint». Con lo cual, ya desde el primer momento estás jugando en modo «Muy difícil», porque si tomas malas decisiones y pierdes en un nivel, vuelves hasta el principio del nivel de nuevo, y pierdes todo lo que has coleccionado (llaves, pociones, etc.) A mi esto personalmente me cabrea mucho, porque el original era así también, y en vez de cambiarlo, lo dejaron lo más fiel al original posible. A pesar de esos fallos, hay muchas cosas positivas de este juego. Los diálogos están muy bien (sobretodo si lo juegas en español, las voces imitan el castellano antiguo para darle un toque más medieval), la trama engancha y el villano tiene bastante carisma. Los niveles están muy bien diseñados y lo dicho, es muy fiel al original. Si este remake lo hubieran hecho para mejorar de paso el juego a nivel de jugabilidad, le daría un 6/10 por lo que comenté de las pociones. Pero, como se trata de un remake que quiere mantener el núcleo de la jugabilidad intacto y ser lo más parecido posible al original, en ese caso le tengo que dar un 10/10 porque lo han clavado. Y el rendimiento a nivel gráfico del juego en PS4 es bueno. Podría ser mejor, pero no es malo.

[RU] На этот раз я больше согласен с оценкой игроков, чем критиков. Как вообще можно было оценить игру так низко? Это отличный платформер, который хорошо играется и по сей день. Сначала он мне не сразу зашел, но после уровня с фермой я в эту игру просто влюбился. Рекомендую!

Este remake fue algo bastante raro. Es de gran calidad, como ya lo era el original... pero parece un juego de esa generación con los gráficos de esta. Es decir, no se ha adaptado a los nuevos tiempos en ciertos aspectos que se deberían haber pulido. También, el rendimiento en PS4 era bastante malo, joder.

I was scared to try this one because of the critics. I am not disappointed and I can assure you that the critics are really not accurate, this is a great remake and I'm a picky gamer. Sure there were a few flaws (bad camera, lack of checkpoints and health could've been restored between each levels) but besides these minor issues, I had a blast and the platinum is pretty easy and fun to do. I'd say that this remake is inferior to the crash trilogy (9/10) but better than the spyro one (7/10). Great game to pick for 15/20$.

Surprisingly a good videogame. A good game especially for a Halloween season.

Terrible camera. No good ost. No consistent frame rate. Clunky controls. Boring gameplay. Was getting a little fun by the end when the missions were getting shorter...

I hate this game so much! This is a Remake! Why is the combat still such a pain? Enemies are dealing damage when I touch them? Thats such a dumb mechanic and frustrating. And why no checkpoints??? This game is unplayable for me and I can't finish this game.

A classic that's back for the clueless generation. Super engaging story, fun gameplay to use. As always, charismatic characters like only Sony can do. Recommended for all ages (as long as you don't bother with other types of beliefs.)

The game is certainly not perfect, there is plenty of outdated mechanics the developers may have been too stubborn to update. So in their journey to make it as faithful a remake as possible, they didn't polish as much as they could have. However, other than the gorgeous graphics there is plenty small quality of life changes and details added in. Not to mention the level design is still fantastic as it was in the original in fact it's improved because it's more clear and detailed. Even with the issues this game does have its a great time to play through it even in modern day. The game also does a great job at incentivizing you to keep collecting everything. You get great awards and prizes for collecting chalices, not to mention the great final reward for completing the end game content (no spoilers). Anyways, I think this game is worthy of a bit more attention and praise than it got. It's a pretty damn good game.

Turno para un remake del clásico del catálogo de la ya lejana PS1, Medievil. Una aventura que mezcla géneros, como el hack and slash, la exploración, los puzzles y las plataformas con una estética de terror inspirada en halloween. Encarnamos a Sir Daniel Fortesque, un personaje icónico en el mundo de los videojuegos, un torpe caballero que en vida lideró las defensas del reino de Gallowmere contra la invasión de las huestes el malvado nigromante Zarok. No le fue del todo bien al bueno de Daniel, que aunque lo intentó con valentía, murió a las primeras de cambio atravesado por una flecha en su ojo. No obstante, la amenaza fue rechazada por sus compañeros, pero años despues Zarok vuelve con más fuerza, levantando a los muertos, entre ellos a Daniel, que defenderá, ahora sí, su muerto reino de la maldad y los oscuros planes de Zarok. Se trata del segundo remake de este clásico exclusivo de Sony. El primero se denominó MediEvil Resurrection y salió en exclusiva para PSP. No lo he jugado, por lo que no lo puedo comparar. Pero sí que jugué y bastante el original de PS1. Lo que tenemos aquí es básicamente el mismo juego con un lavado de cara inmenso. Los gráficos se han hecho de 0, esa es la principal novedad del remake, porque lo demás, salvo alguna cosa que se me escape es exactamente lo mismo. Mismos recorridos, enemigos, jefes..... dificultad y jugabilidad. No se ha pulido esta ni lo más mínimo, el control es calcado, y con ello tambien han calcado algunos defectos del juego original. Como por ejemplo, que pierdas al final de un nivel la última de tus vidas contra el jefe, al que te ha costado sangre, sudor y lágrimas llegar y de una hostia te mate y tengas que volver a empezar porque el sistema de guardado es como antaño, solo graba cuando sales del nivel triunfante. Ojo si sales antes de salir triunfante no graba, al loro, lo pierdes todo. ¿Este hecho hace que el juego sea una mierda? Para nada, el juego es original y bastante bueno y un clásico por derecho propio. De hecho tambien hay que mencionar la sensación de logro que produce superar o desatascar ese nivel en el que llevas días preguntándote por la estrategia correcta, qué haces mal, por qué te matan con tanta facilidad. Como todos los juegos MediEvil hay que entenderlo. A su manera tiene un sistema de progresión. Es indispensable explorar correctamente, matar a todos los enemigos del nivel, esto es, llenar todos los cálices de los niveles para obtener las mejoras de armas, items y vida que otorgan. No es una misión secundaria, para nada, es casi obligatorio porque de lo contrario de ese nivel puñetero no pasas. La exploración es una mecánica esencial en este título. Es cierto que los escenarios son como pequeños laberintos a veces, pero ahí está tambien la gracia, si pusieran un pasillo desde el inicio hasta el jefe sí que sería una puta mierda, ¿no? En definitiva tenemos un buen juego, no una obra maestra. Puede que lo llegara a ser en PS1, pero actualmente la jugabilidad puede resentirse y verse como anticuada. Eso sí, el apartado artístico es impecable, desde la estética de pelí de terror de animación para halloween, hasta la música que suena sublime todo el juego. Hay niveles cuyo diseño os llamarán poderosamente la atención, hay imaginación y mucha en MedieEvil. Si conoces el clásico de PS1 y la nostalgia te puede, pruébalo, te va a gustar. De lo contrario, dependerá de tu tolerancia con ciertas limitaciones heredadas de la versión original que puede que no sean del gusto de los jugadores más modernos.

I had a lot of goofy fun with this. Near the end I defintely started to lose my patience with the game. But, overall, I had a really lovely time with Medievil. I really hope we get a remake for the sequel or just a straight up 3rd Medievil game. Love the premise and presentation. Want more adventures with Sir Dan tbh

I never played the original on the PS1 so I don't have anything as a reference. But I found this game pretty decent. It was entertaining and humorous. There is a wide range of different kinds of levels and they're all relatively short and not too hard. A few of them were a little annoying and made me wish they had some kind of check point though. That's because those levels were a little bit more involved. They have the player backtrack or look for items in different areas to progress. If you die, you'd have to start all over again. Some levels could have used a little more guidance on what the objective was to complete them too. Controls are janky. You'll be taking hits from enemies when you think you shouldn't. I wasn't sure if certain weapons were weaker or stronger than others. I figured if it was a new weapon then it must be better than what I had currently, but sometimes enemies would still take a bunch of hits. Maybe there should have been some kind of description of strength level in the inventory? Also the targeting when using long range weapons is bad because there is NO targeting so you can't just run and gun while you run away. You have to be facing your target. The camera gets horrendous at times. Sometimes it feels too zoomed in or out. So you might take some unnecessary hits from an enemy you can't see off screen. Overall, it's an okay game but it has some problems that should have been fixed for the PS4 remake.

After many years MediEvil is back from the grave with its Tim Burtonesque atmosphere and its marvellous Sound track. This remake clearly shines on the graphic side with an impressively colourful representation of the 21 levels and their dwellers. From foggy graveyards to scary crop fields or medieval castles, every scenario is full of details and HD textures. The OST is as good as the original, you will instantaneously love it if you like Danny Elfman's work . The clear drawbacks on this title are his clunky PS1 controls and his horrible camera system, that will cost you more life bottles and game overs than the enemies. I can more or less understand that they have not included a "Z targeting" system to be true to the original and have the funny "smash square while running " combats but why on earth keep the fix camera that make the slippery platforms almost a souls-like? Nevertheless it is a very enjoyable game and a funny platinum to get.

A gem **** with that brilliant soundtrack we all love. I loved MediEvil 1 & 2 back on the PS1 and it was a treat to re-experience the original MediEvil with todays visual glory and smoothed out controls. Other Ocean Emeryville did a terrific job with the music and visuals and kept the atmosphere and humour of the original game. I really hope we'll see MediEvil 2.
