"Undoubtedly, Empty Clip Studios did a very good job on the artistic side, restoring this 90s classic with a very clean style that is perfectly faithful to the Gargoyles&s; animated series. On the other hand, the game is hopelessly outdated …"

"Gargoyles Remastered is not recommended for retro enthusiasts or fans of the cartoon show. There is nothing here to appreciate except the original 16-bit pixel art and animation. Go play Demon’s Crest instead."
