When The Messenger launched on PC and Switch last year, I was pretty intrigued. The art style looked to harken back to classic titles like Ninja Gaiden on the NES, with Dtoid’s own Rich Meister giving the game 10/10. I watched Game Attack stream a bit of it and was ready to pounce on a Steam sale to grab it. It looked like everything I would enjoy in a retro platformer, but I somehow missed the boat.
When the opportunity to check out the recently announced PS4 port came up, I jumped at the chance. I wasn’t going to miss out on playing this game, even if the hype wouldn’t match my lofty expectations. Turns out I didn’t have much to worry about because I’m really digging the first few hours of The Messenger. Oh, and this PS4 version is solid as hell.
