If you’re a fan of metroidvania games, I’d recommend watching some footage of The Last Case of Benedict Fox to see how lovely it looks and sounds.
The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a game that is equal parts impressive and disappointing. I love the visuals, worldbuilding, puzzles, and other aspects of the game, but the entire experience is held back by its actual platforming and combat. Having been interested through screenshots and trailers, The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a game that looks and sounds great, but one that just doesn’t feel good to play sadly. In its current state, I wanted to highlight those aspects of The Last Case of Benedict Fox, but also highlight why it doesn’t work. I enjoyed my time with it on Steam Deck despite those issues, but I can’t really recommend it at full price in its current state.
