Knight's Try

About

Knight's Try is a punishing platformer draped in 64-bit era visuals. As a knight tasked with a hazardous pilgrimage, you'll navigate treacherous levels littered with spikes, bottomless gaps, and moving obstacles. The controls emphasize tight jumps and precise timing but the difficulty spikes sharply, often punishing mistakes with instant respawns. Played solo on PC or Switch, it's a no-frills test of reflexes and patience. The game's retro aesthetic and unrelenting challenge have split players, with some praising its old-school grit and others frustrated by its steep learning curve. Developer Modus Interactive Games leans into the chaotic energy of late 90s platformers, though its 2022 release drew mixed reactions from critics. With a runtime averaging 4-6 hours and a Metacritic score of 62, it's a divisive pick for those craving a brutal but brief pixelated workout.
