Our take

SotN’s reputation is earned, the exploration, the leveling, the atmosphere all still hold up decades later. The below-average rating for a title this beloved points to something off in the port itself, maybe touch controls or pricing, worth checking recent reviews before buying.

What we like

A legitimately classic, genre-defining Metroidvania rather than a spinoff or reskin
Controller support means it plays properly for anyone with a gamepad
Achievements and a new continue feature add small modern conveniences to the original

Watch out for

A 3.86 rating for a genre classic suggests real complaints, likely pricing or performance on certain devices
This is a straight port with only minor additions, so if you've played it before there's little new here
