Axiom Verge is the real deal, and quite the feat when you find out its all made by one dude.

A great-looking metroidvania with funky upgrades and an absolutely killer soundtrack.

The way the story starts out I wondered if this was going to even be worth my time. But as you go on it becomes pretty interesting.

My only gripe with the game is that the backtracking can be a little extreme. I eventually came to the realization at points that there’s no way I’d know what to do if it wasn’t for an online-guide (so thanks for those how-to-guides internet-heroes!)
