Review: Escape From Tethys (PlayStation 4, Switch & Xbox One) - Defunct Games
89Defunct Games reviews Escape From Tethys by Whimsical, available now on PlayStation 4, Switch and Xbox One.
At a mere five dollars, I could see how Escape From Tethys might be tempting. It has a throwback look and plays like a cross between Metroid and Mega Man, what could possibly go wrong? As it turns out, the answer is everything. From the sluggish gameplay to the generic power-ups to the forgettable bosses, this is a science fiction action game that should be avoided. With so many better games doing the exact same thing (for around the same price), there's absolutely no reason to travel to Tethys. Games like this are why so many people are sick of the Metroidvania genre.
