Defunct Games reviews Prison City, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
Prison City works as both a fun side-scroller and as a love-letter to the 8-bit action games many of us grew up with. It absolutely nails the presentation and gameplay, going above and beyond with wonderfully-conceived levels with multiple paths and memorable boss battles. Inspired by games like Shatterhand and Power Blade, this is a throwback title that brings something new and different to the table. I suppose it could have used more weapons and power-ups, but that’s nitpicking. If you loved the classic 2D action games from the 1980s, then prepare to fall head over heels for Hal Bruzer and his old school tactics.
