Eurogamer - "A faithful and beautifully crafted Metroidvania homage that never quite stamps its own identity on the genre." (Recommended out of Essential)

Pushsquare - "As suggested by other outlets prior to release, Axiom Verge is PlayStation's very own Metroid. That may sound a teensy bit degrading, but there's no denying that this and Nintendo's own space-faring adventure have more than a few things in common – and if being compared to one of the most beloved game series of all time isn't a compliment, then we don't know what is. If you've never seen the appeal of these types of games, then chances are this won't change your mind. Devoted fans of the genre, however, will no doubt adore Tom Happ's opus." (9/10)

Giantbomb - 5/5

IGN - 7.9/10

Why is that a PS4 exclusive that I've never heard of? :D I'll check out the IGN review.

Yeah, but they have video reviews and I'm too lazy to read right now. Anyway, looks interesting, but I find 18€ a little too steep for my budget right now, might check it out when it's on sale sometimes or maybe on PS+ (if I have that by then :D)

just for your reference tom, the developer, made a statement that after the initial week's sales that axiom verge would go back to full price and not go on sale or be part of ps+ for at least 6 months.   he wanted to be clear about his pricing strategy so that week 1 buyers wouldn't feel like they were going to be put into a "buyers remorse" situation.

Hm, ok. Then maybe I'll check it out when I have some more expendable cash.
