    Missing the Mark in Multiple Areas 0

    Strider is a 2D "metroid-vania" style exploration/platforming game, which gives the player a solid opening 30 minutes, at which point it makes multiple bad decisions which destroy any semblance of fun. There are moments where it seems as if the game is trying to make up for its mistakes, but ultimately, Strider is a misdirected, frustrating mess.There isn't any sort of story established at the beginning of Strider, the player is simply thrust into the world. This establishes a great face-paced ...

    Double Helix has breathed new life into the seldom-seen but much-loved Strider franchise 0

    The general nature of classic franchise reboots is dubious at best, or a total disaster at worst. There's a wrong way to do them, and there's the right-and some might say safer-way. Luckily Double Helix's take on Strider falls well into the latter camp.

Reboots, remakes, a whole dimension introduced, bring it on, because I feel some games shouldn’t be left in the forgotten realm, and quite frankly I can’t complain too much about these games that have risen from the grave over the last decade or so.

    A competently made Metroidvania with not a whole lot else going for it. 0

    I got Strider as part of the Humble Capcom bundle earlier this year. After being disappointed with Resident Evil 0 and the Devil May Cry collection (apparently those games didn't age as well as I'd hoped), I booted up Strider just out of curiosity. To my surprise, I've put more time into it than any other game in the bundle, but that still doesn't mean I'd recommend it.To the game's credit, it doesn't waste any time getting going. Strider shows up at the base of his target, and... that's it. Go...
