- Apr 29, 2026
Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action side scroller with combat inspired by platform fighters, a story told through dangerous characters, set in a deep interconnected world ready for exploration. Play as Luca, the host, and Rehm, her less-than-cooperative counterpart, as they explore a quarantined city ripped apart and flooded by an interdimensional catastrophe. Their only hope of survival is by learning to co-exist. Possessor(s) takes place across the interconnected sprawl of a destroyed mega-city, from collapsed skyscrapers to an abandoned aquarium, all riddled with secrets. Hauntingly beautiful 3D environments form a stunning backdrop over which hand-drawn and animated characters, and mysterious sci-fi horror action take center stage. Choose multiple paths in an open-ended world structure as you look to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe. Meet a cast of engaging characters, each with their own heart-breaking story to follow in the aftermath of the devastation. Gameplay is centered around tight, fast-paced platforming with a range of unique movement abilities that extends to its tense, precise, combat. Balance ground and air attacks, replete with combos and juggles as you encounter a variety of deadly enemies and challenging bosses. Find and unlock a wide array of powerful weapons and upgrades to bolster your arsenal and explore previously inaccessible areas.

- Open reviewIt seems like some design-related issues may have held the game back from gaining more traction early on. In metroidvanias, the key driving force is usually the sense of progression and exploration, and the lack of balance and depth in those areas seems to have hurt the experience here. That said, for those who can look past these issues, it’s actually a pretty good game. Both the visual design and the gameplay are quite enjoyable. Where it really stands out, though this may not be for everyone, is its characters and dialogue. For a metroidvania, it features a surprising amount of character interaction, and for players looking for that kind of experience, it can become a very engaging game.
