Review Shadow of the Beast (PS4)
Adios, Amiga
Of the numerous reboots, remakes, and remasters this generation has brought us, this one may just be the most drastic.

I really do hope shadow becomes a 9/10 10/10 game with heaps of imagination because there is room for this game to be great. I am just thinking of the possibilities and potential it has . I hope the controls are unique and agile and the hope that the game grows as you go along.
havnt heard a word about it since 2013
lol they should remake altered beast instead could get some castlevaina style puzzles in one of those, still looking forward to this
