If we had to make a six-word summary of the year we have been in video games, many would simply say that the thing is clear because «Elden Ring is the best game” that has hit stores so far in 2022. So if you agree with this statement, all that remains is to invite you to continue reading what a fan of the FromSoftware title has achieved thanks to his passion.

And we will all agree that making the jump from a PS5 or an Xbox Series X to a Game Boy in the late 1980s forces the developer to make things much worse. Although it is with style and pixel perfect.
And not only in terms of graphics, but also to game options, adventure extension and other elements. The good demake It is the one that vaguely reminds us of the original and gets out of the mess of trying to look like a game that takes about 32 years of technological difference. An abyss. So imagine how accurate its developers have to be to make recognizable work.
But Shintendo has not been afraid of that challenge and the result is surprising because it collects those basic elements from FromSoftware’s great game: our character appears from inside what looks like an old hermitage, we arrive at a path that we can travel not without encountering certain dangers and, when fighting, we maintain the essential controls of hitting with the weapon and Dodge.
