SeekerWonder Boy: Asha in Monster World
Despite a few bright spots, it’s hard to recommend Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World to anyone who’s not already invested in some way in this old-school platformer series. This is an authentic remake to be sure, but it’s bogged down in outdated design and new graphics that are hit and miss at best. Anyone who’s explored the world of retro games knows that there are plenty of skippable entries in any console’s library, and Asha’s journey will go down as such on Nintendo Switch and PS4.
