While I didn’t grow up playing the original MediEvil on the PS1,
I did become interested in playing it for the first time through a remake of
the same title, with some quality-of-life changes, that was announced for the
PS4 and released last year. When a limited-time demo was available, I made sure
to give it a try so I could see what the gameplay was like, along with
unlocking the previously Japan-exclusive Dan’s Helmet item in the full game as
an incentive. Needless to say, I was hooked on the game after playing the demo.
Though I would later receive it as a Christmas gift, I didn’t get around to
playing it until recently, with Dan’s Helmet unlocked and everything. Despite
some difficulty spikes and flaws in the experience, I found it to be an overall
enjoyable experience.
