RIN: The Last Child lands on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this September 10th. A quiet launch for a metroidvania that, on PC, never really made waves. The game offers a blend announced as classic for the genre: exploration, dynamic combat, narrative choices and platforming, sprinkled with several hundred - or even thousand - spell variants according to the publisher. The graphical style leans towards fairy-tale fantasy, a universe that stands in contrast to the often darker side of the genre.

The real question now is whether the content will hold up against a genre that's already saturated with competition. For the trailer details and full technical specs, head over to our dedicated articles.
