This game is absolutely fantastic. A homage to 80's games like Metroid and it was made just by one person which is incredibly remarkable. If you like retro games with a challenge and good story this is the game for you, besides you would be supporting a lone developer and not a mainstream one.

If you're worried about Axiom Verge's Teen rating, don't be. Just look at these graphics. Although the game impressed me, I gotta say: do you think this blood will be realistic No, and it's not. As for violence, I really think this is light violence. The ESRB is just getting a lot stricter.

Loving the indie scene as of late. More of these titles are getting released physically an I'm thankful. This is a great game that captures retro titles. Feels very responsive and the exploration is gold. Love the extra art and documentary, really inspirational.

I'm not sure that I'll actually go back and collect 100% of the items and seek out alternate endings, but that first playthrough is absolutely killer. I found myself scouring edges of the map in search of secrets and really had a fantastic time doing it.

If you're going to clone a classic, much-loved game series, you'd better make sure what you're doing stands up to history. Fortunately,...

In a generation bursting with neo-retro action games, Axiom Verge stands out as one of the best. This could have been a simple one-note love letter to the cartridge games of yesteryear, but instead it exceeds expectations and even manages to bring a few new ideas to the mix.

Metroid fans have been waiting in agony for a new 2D entry in the series since 2004's Zero Mission on Game Boy Advance. In the meantime, several fans have gone into development and created their own Metroid-style games.

Axiom Verge is one of those games that comes around once in a blue moon and reminds me why I love video games. It's easy to admire for the sole reason that the development team behind it is made up of one person.

Axiom Verge is a side-scrolling action/adventure that applies a fresh take on classic 8-bit games by using glitches as an important game mechanic.

As soon as a new indie game comes out, there are those voices that shout about how they are keeping the AAA titles from being made. That the latest Call Of Duty, or Assassin's Creed is somehow hampered by these small budget, one man developed games.
