It’s not often that a video game brings genuine joy to my hardened heart, but Demon Tides, a 3D platformer, managed to do just that. The game introduces a unique mechanic where you can hit a button upon landing to perform higher jumps and exciting somersaults. This nostalgic experience reminded me of the classic N64 Mario magic that I've been longing for. Some may argue that nostalgia hinders critical thinking and that the gaming industry is stuck in a loop of repetitive corporate games. But let me savor this moment, let me enjoy the magic of Demon Tides. From transforming into a bat to performing ground-pound moves, the game offers a range of abilities that harken back to the golden era of gaming. 12298
