The Cane and Rinse schedule led me to buy Pseudoregalia at the beginning of the year. I played about 2 hours of it back then − until some mild frustration in Sansa Castle − both at getting lost over and over and at seemingly impossible wall kick platforming − got me to put my SteamDeck aside. Picking it up again this week, I banged my head at the same wall-kick platforming section until I finally managed to get that one key… only to lose that progress soon after − I should have headed straight to the closest save point. Surely now that I have succeeded once, that platforming section should be a piece of cake, right? Well not quite − more head banging over more wall-kicking. After a more few hours in, I feel like I finally got the hang of that wall-kick mechanic, and I am now enjoying the platforming again − a bit of reading taught me about the side-flip ; and gaining the slide jump makes it a total joy to zip around − I expect future upgrades to make it even more of a joy. What I’m driving at though is that my early personal experience felt a bit at odds with what I had read about Pseudoregalia − how the movement is all slick and fun − I got there (for now), but definitely had to soldier through some frustration for a bit. Maybe because I tried do some sections before the upgrade that would make them trivial − or maybe I just needed to "get good" or whatever ;-) Overall the game hearkens back to my old days of PS1-era 3D platforming of Spyro, Tomb Raider or Soul Reaver − but in a way it’s a call-back to a time that never existed: none of these played nearly as smooth as Pseudoregalia does today. At that price-point, everyone should do themselves a favor and give it a try − although do expect to get frustrated at times I’d say − and gear up for a trip down memory lane: going in circles in Sansa Castle may well remind you of hours lost in a certain Water Temple.

(my comparison went to PS1 as I did not grow-up with an N64 (which Pseudoregalia probably calls-back to more) − perhaps the likes of Mario64 or Banjo-Kazooie did play as nice back then − I guess the panel will tell me :)
