Video Game Review: Cathedral | Yestermade

In this in-depth, 2000+ words review, we take a close look at the recent PS4 release of Cathedral — a game that could have made backtracking at least a little more tolerable through more consistent powerup progression, but the game doles out its movement upgrades at an agonizingly slow rate.

Players get access to a double jump fairly early on, but they won’t obtain the dash ability until around halfway through the game. This wouldn’t be so bad if the player character’s base movement speed was up to the task, but unfortunately, our hero waddles his way through the world at Shovel Knight speed, which is to say, way too slow for a game like this.
