Having played quite a few retro rehashes of late, and finding them all critically lacking, AHNW was a gift. It’s not perfect: besides coming off graphically and sonically unremarkable, it suffers from some bad slowdown in spots, and the pacing of stages 4 and 5 is a bit languid; given the length, somber tone and inevitable countless deaths those levels can be counted on for, some may lose interest there. But for the kind of retro players for which this game is meant, you will embrace the darkness, embrace the grind, and come out on the other side, happy that you did.
