Sabotage Studio’s The Messenger is a visually striking game that at a quick glance you might shrug off as yet another quick grab at our nostalgia. While my nostalgia heartstrings were tugged at significantly during my playthrough, it’s safe to say this is a cut above the rest.
The Messenger pulls from the legacy of Ninja Gaiden as well as the classic metroidvanias of Nintendo’s golden age, and it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had on my Switch to date.
