Of all the original PlayStation games to get a remaster I was surprised that MediEvil was chosen. It was one of those games from my childhood that felt like I was the only person who played it but simultaneously also had a very strong cult following. Upon hearing about Sony’s decision to resurrect Sir Daniel Fortesque I promptly downloaded the game on my PlayStation 3 purely for nostalgia’s sake but I was surprised to find it actually held up well. More importantly, while playing MediEvil, I released it definitely shaped some of my favorite games that came after it such as FromSoftware’s Dark Souls series. Having just viewed the trailer for MediEvil’s remake I am confident that MediEvil (2019) will fill that dark fantasy void; a feeling that many fans of the Dark Souls series can relate to. Dark Souls almost feels like if MediEvil had grown up alongside us and into the twenty-first century.
