one of my favorite platformers in recent memory, fantastic controls, level-design is impeccable, great movement and presentation not to mention the creative writing as a whole for an game in the genre.

the second half could use some better direction and features some very clumsy backtracking/item gathering, it's an interesting experiment that Sabotage tried to get it done but I vastly prefer the game's first 5 hours.

overall The Messenger is one of the best feeling platformers of all time, the combination of snappy movement and level-design make it a joy to play, highly recommend to anyone who likes the genre.
