Astlibra Revision is one of the most uneven games I’ve played all year, but I do not want to put it down. I happened to see this self-described ‘Final Fantasy meets Castlevania’ 2D action RPG last month, shortly after it hit Steam (opens in new tab) following a whopping 14 years in development, and it was sitting around 3,000 “overwhelmingly positive” reviews at the time. That has since jumped to 5,971 glowing reviews at the time of writing, making Astlibra Revision one of the highest-rated new Steam releases of 2022. After clearing its prologue, I’d like to give my own recommendation and make that 5,972.
