The Real Review

Replaced is a 2.5D sci-fi retro-futuristic action platformer from Sad Cat Studios, and most people are having a good time with it. The pixel art, soundtrack, and cinematic 1980s style are the big draws, and combat is the part that usually feels the most fun. The platforming is where it loses people, with a lot of complaints about it feeling awkward or too hard, and performance issues keep coming up on PC and Xbox Series X|S. The story and R.E.A.C.H. premise land better than the mixed talk about the developer, but the whole thing doesn't feel fully smooth. It's worth it if you care more about style, music, and action than a tight platforming experience.
