The successful remakes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon raised my excitement for this re-release, but within seconds of starting it, I realized protagonist Sir Daniel Fortesque no longer has a jump in his step, and instead controls like the clumsy zombie he is. Developer Other Ocean Emeryville gave this 1998 PlayStation classic a dramatic graphical overhaul, which makes the eerie graveyards and darkened tombs pop in 4K. The studio also re-recorded the score with an orchestra, but all this doesn\u2019t do much to help the gameplay, which was considered sloppy even back when the original released.<\/p>\n<p>MediEvil\u2019s setting and story are still fantastic. I love that Sir Dan is heralded as a hero (with his own tomb and giant commemorative statue), yet ended up being the first soldier to die, taking an arrow to the eye in the battle of Gallowmere. It turns out that the villain in this world, the sorcerer Zarok, is just as terrible at his craft, and in raising an army of the dead to take over the world, accidentally resurrects Dan, who now has a second shot at becoming the hero the people believe he was.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/medievil\/medievil-review-leave-the-skeletons-in-the-closet\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The visual aesthetic for MediEvil was clever and beautiful when it originally released, and Other Ocean takes it to the next level, giving the environments and character models the little details that couldn\u2019t be achieved on the old PlayStation hardware. Every texture and effect looks like it belongs, and the jawless Dan is as goofy and oddly charismatic as ever.<\/p>\n<p>On the gameplay front, players are tasked to lead Dan against a variety of creepy or possessed foes. You encounter a decent selection of adversaries, and have plenty of ways to defeat them \u2013 just not with much precision. Dan can switch between a variety of close-range melee and projective-based weapons, but none of them control well. Aiming with the crossbow is particularly challenging, as you are waiting for a little light to appear over an enemy\u2019s head. Just swinging the sword is equally frustrating, since landing hits takes more work than it should given how fidgety the adversaries are. You run circles around foes jabbing at them hastily, hoping that the sword is aimed the right way. Dan\u2019s powerful charge moves are also a bit hard to read and land. Other Ocean tweaked the camera tracking a little, but it wasn\u2019t enough to truly follow the action. It still gets blocked by walls, and unexpectedly zooms directly onto Dan.<\/p>\n<p><i>Click image thumbnails to view larger version<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/a5222309\/medievil_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/a5222309\/medievil_1.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/2c8cae9f\/medievil_3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/2c8cae9f\/medievil_3.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/fc561641\/medievil_6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/fc561641\/medievil_6.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/91c357f8\/medievil_8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/91c357f8\/medievil_8.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/1c00a39b\/medievil_9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/1c00a39b\/medievil_9.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/c6ccc882\/medievil_10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/c6ccc882\/medievil_10.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Early in the game, sustaining damage is no big deal, as Dan has plenty of health, and healing stations are usually close by. You probably also have some handy instant-use health vials in reserve. As the difficulty escalates making enemy attacks and environmental obstacles more lethal, every little misstep hurts. If you die, most levels don\u2019t have checkpoints, meaning you\u2019re going back to the beginning to try again. Even if you reach the boss at the very end of the level, you have to start over. Welcome to gaming in 1998, people.<\/p>\n<p>MediEvil still deserves to be heralded as a classic for its time and place in gaming, and I love how it looks in revitalized form on PlayStation 4. However, its gameplay is a relic of yesteryear, and an example that shows us just how far games have come over the years. Rest in peace, Sir Dan.<\/p>\n<p>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/review_summary_game_cover\/s3\/2019\/10\/24\/2e417f15\/medievil.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"168\" alt=\"\" typeof=\"Image\" class=\"image-style-review-summary-game-cover\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Score: 6.5<\/h2>\n<p><b>Summary: <\/b>It may look like a fairly modern release, but it plays like a troubled game from the &#8217;90s. <\/p>\n<p><b>Concept: <\/b>Sir Daniel Fortesque\u2019s return is a little too true of a remake, enhancing the visuals, without doing anything to help the troubled gameplay <\/p>\n<p><b>Graphics: <\/b>The graveyards pop with new atmospherics and beautiful texture work that meshes well with designs from the original release <\/p>\n<p><b>Sound: <\/b>The same great soundtrack was re-recorded by the Prague Symphony Orchestra.
