And whilst we're not going to sit here and proclaim that The Explorer of Night should be considered for Game of the Year 2020, the cheap asking price, the minimalist action and the opportunity to enjoy a most pleasant gaming experience should mean it's one to at least consider purchasing."

A retro inspired platformer with an interesting art style, The Explorer of Night is equal parts frustrating and pleasantly challenging.
