Our Review
If you are looking for an action-platformer to take four jumps and kill five monsters, Horned Knight may be a good option at a low price, but the reality is that the market is full of similar proposals that, plain simply, have more content and offer much more. Horned Knight is the same level over and over again. In total, it took me an hour and a half to complete Horned Knight on PS4 in its normal mode. It has entertained me for a while, but I will probably never play again.
