Pseudoregalia is probably one of the best indie platformers to be released this year. With fantastic controls and a great collection of challenges there is so much that will get you hooked and keep you coming back for more. However the lack of a map can make it easy to get lost and end up going places you don't intend to. However the core gameplay loop and unlockable powers can make the experience far smoother over all.

Pseudoregalia is a must-play 3D platformer. The adventure boasts a lovingly crafted world developed with a strong sense of appreciation for the genre. Even the lack of a map and limited combat systems don’t get in the way of the experience that is fueled by clever environmental puzzles and platforming sections. For a $6 asking price and plenty of hours of gameplay to look forward to, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying this unique game.

Pseudoregalia es nostalgia. Lo reconozco. ¿En qué momento crecimos y necesitamos recordar el Super Mario 64? En este juego todo son decisiones intencionadas: no hay limitaciones del sistema sino recurso estético, las plataformas son difíciles pero la imaginación, la combinación y el movimiento de dedos permiten superar el bache, y el videojuego, en su totalidad, responde a su lógica interna sin fallos. Es una oda a los videojuegos para amantes de los videojuegos. Con Pseudoregalia pasa lo que sucede con los juegos retro pero a la inversa: envejecerá eternamente bien porque todo está bien estructurado, es sencillo y se propone lograr un objetivo específico. La humildad evidencia su triunfo.

Genuinely one of my favorite games I've played in a long time. I've replayed it multiple times just to feel how good the controls are and hear how amazing the music is.

This is genuinely one of the greatest 3d platformers i have ever played, the music, the ps1 aesthetic, the level design, the depth of the mechanics, the exploration, it's all perfect. This game reignited my hope in what videogames can be and still are. If you haven't experienced this game blind at least once you're missing out on a experience ****!!
This is a must play, without question

+Stylish 3d throwback with a great concept that i wished where expanded upon with much more details, npcs and character customization.
+Ripping soundtrack
+Best videogame title since Castlevania
-Graphics are too blocky and low-frame for my liking. Makes the levels feel empty. Some cool furnitures had helped.
-Not enough enemies or content.
I'm hoping for a fully fledged sequel.
There's just something about this Indie

I seriously do not understand the insane hype this game gets. At best it feels like a first time game devs pet project. So much of it is just beset by poor or awkward game design choices. It's mildly competent at what it tries to be but to compares it the likes of A Hat In Time or Super Mario Odyssey is baffling - just because you could do a few speedrunning skips doesn't excuse the utter lack of polish on anything in this game. Empty, repetitive environments and an instance on a low poly aesthetics don't help this game any.

Pseudo-nothing - this game is realboring. Bad camera that can't be adjusted farther back is a huge dealbreaker. The slow pace at the outset isn't particularly interesting, either. The enemies and bosses can't keep pace with the exploration, leading to this feeling of traversing an empty pet project. If you can't consistently make something interesting to do or see in every room, either back up the scope of your game or straight up don't make it.
SummaryWhen reality feels like it's falling apart, one might retreat to a world in their dreams to escape it. Unfortunately, dreams aren't made to last. Grow strong and unlock new abilities to build up a deep movement system, fight enemies, find secrets and uncover the mysteries of Castle Sansa. A game originally made for the Metroidvania Mo...
