Narita Boy: An Experience Unlike Any Other – PS4 Review
Narita Boy is a phenomenal game and one of the best games I've played in a long while. It is as great as I had hoped it would be. While it can often be a little too punishing, and its platforming a little inconsistent, its incredible visuals, fluid combat and genuinely heartfelt narrative make up for it. This is an absolute must-play if this looks even remotely enjoyable to you. It is a truly one of a kind experience and sets the bar rather high for those left to come.

Narita Boy's difficulty is balanced well enough to offer challenge without frustration, and the combat is sublime. Not to mention it's visually incredible.
