Read original review"Ghosts &s;n Goblins Resurrection is an attempt to make an old-school absurdly difficult quarter muncher a game worth playing in the modern era, and it delightfully succeeds."
Read original review"Having Master Fujiwara back, even if it&s;s briefly, is a real treat. And enjoying a new Ghosts&s; N Goblins, with superfab 2D aesthetics and mechanics, it&s;s simply a miracle. Just hoping it doesn&s;t take another 15 years to see Sir …"

"Ghosts &s;n Goblins Resurrection is exactly what you&s;d expect a remake of Capcom&s;s classic: It&s;s painfully difficult to the point of parody, but it also features gorgeous visuals and imaginatively punishing design to create a beautiful knightmare."
