Overall A Pixel Story is a ton of fun and aside from some minor glitches here and there it was a delight to play. Though I do recommend taking breaks if you’re struggling with any of the puzzles because it can get quite frustrating. Also, although there is a bit of a story happening if you read the text none of it is particularly compelling and you could easily not read any of the NPC quest dialogue and still make it through the game fine.

A Pixel Story is as close to perfect as a game can get, but it falls a bit short. It highlights a lot of the issues other Metroidvania games have, and can feel like an aimless walk from time to time. Rest assured, though, every annoyance you stumble across will be paid back in kind, and with a game so fun and enticing, you may find yourself lost in the System, as well.

A Pixel Story ofrece algunas buenas ideas y el global es bastante interesante para conocer cómo los estudios independientes tratan de evolucionar una fórmula sobreexplotada –y muy perfeccionada- desde hace 25 años. El aspecto negativo y que impide que este lanzamiento no sea más redondo más es que no siempre da con la tecla.
