Sir Lovelot: A Punishingly, Playful Platformer – Switch Review
Sir Lovelot is a challenging platformer with precise controls and a gorgeous visual style. What it lacks in narrative, it makes up for in compelling gameplay. While it may be too difficult for some, I found it extremely rewarding, and the ease in which you can restart made replaying its levels all the more fun.
80%Sir Lovelot
An interesting twist on a classic fairy tale. Sir Lovelot is desperate for romance, and no tower in the world will stop him from finding a lady. Tried and tested mechanics make up the core of the gameplay, and though they perform to a high standard, it feels a little safe and repetitive. + Great theme. + Nice retro graphics. + A good use of classic platform mechanics. - Forgettable audio. - Repetitive in nature. (Reviewed on the Xbox Series X. Also available on PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.)
