Despite superficial similarities to classic Nintendo games like Super Metroid, Axiom Verge isn’t afraid to bring a lot of new ideas to the table, and is all the better for it.

Critic Reviews
Axiom Verge review: jagged edge
Axiom Verge works moment to moment but feels less successful as a whole
70%Sudra Calling - Axiom Verge Review
Tom Happ’s Axiom Verge keeps the best of the past and improves on every facet, crafting a game about singularity, identity and pure pixellated fun. This is concentrated, unfiltered, Super-Nintendo-excellence given the modern treatment, and a landmark indie title.
90%Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge delivers one of the better experiences in the oversaturated Metroidvainia genre, but if you've played a NES/SNES Metroid title, then you've played Axiom Verge. The game's plenty fun, but it fails to carve out a distinct identity.
