GSY Review PS5 Xbox Series X PC Switch

There are sometimes games that stay under our radar for some reason and Nikoderiko: The Magical World is one of them. Yet, when playing it for the first time, it wasn't long before we realized it was actually an excellent tribute to Crash Bandicoot, Donkey Kong Country and all our beloved platformers from the 90s. A lot of emphasis has clearly been put in the game feel and we're happy to report that VEA Games' title is truly a joy to play, alone or with a friend. Even the price tag feels right as $29.99/€29.99 isn't much if you're looking for a fun old school platformer that looks very good.

The game looks gorgeous, indeed! Big thanks for the video and screenshots - as a lover of classic platformers, I will definitely give it a try.
