Critic Reviews
- It’s fast, fun and rewarding to players who manage to overcome the initial similarities to FROM Software’s series, and manages to carve its own unique take on the formula, with strong narrative and combat hooks to support it. If only those load times could let us get to the action sooner.
Martin Hollis · Dec 17, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Vigil: The Longest Night isn't the toughest Metroidvania you'll encounter on Switch – nor does it possess the most interesting plot – but it has plenty of secrets to uncover even after you've finished it; it's just a shame that Switch owners have to endure a host of technical problems, such as long load times and an inconsistent frame rate.
Damien McFerran · Oct 26, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I may sound harsh, but giving Vigil: The Longest Night a second chance at least showed me I may have been mistaken. On a personal level, I'm still not truly gripped by everything here, but there are a lot of risky design choices and themes in Vigil. Developer Glass Heart Games should be commended for paying homage to the Dark Souls series while taking it in a slightly different direction.
Peter Glagowski · Oct 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Recommending Vigil: The Longest Night is incredibly simple: if you’re a fan of Metroidvanias and you loved Salt and Sanctuary, you can’t afford to pass this one up. With a stunning art style and design that delivers all the right spooky notes and diverse boss battle tactics, Vigil: The Longest Night has my vote for one of the greatest hidden gems of 2020.
Heather Johnson Yu · Oct 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It’s a great looking game with a dark and lush visual style and melee combat against some challenging monsters and human type enemies. A tighter story and less labyrinthian levels might make a very good experience even more compelling, but Vigil: The Longest Night will probably please fans of Salt and Sanctuary and those looking for a solid 2D Dark Souls-like game.
Mark Steighner · Oct 21, 2020 Reviewed on PC - With its sprawling locales, creative but unsettling foes and missing daughters, it’s a gorgeously grim fairy tale. Its Soulsborne influence may be a little too apparent from time to time, but Vigil: The Longest Night is a title well worth taking up your sword for in its own right.
Chris Mc · Oct 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Vigil: The Longest Night aims high and almost hits the mark thanks to its amazing level design, epic boss fights, uncanny visuals, and Lovecraftian and gothic horror themes. Sadly, it's bogged down by its muddled story, confusing map layout, and perplexing campaign progression.
Jason Rodriguez · Oct 12, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While I’ve played worse, Vigil: The Longest Night just has too many flaws for me to wholeheartedly recommend it. The visual style, despite the bad animations, is still pleasing, and you’re generally rewarded well for exploring. I just wish that the combat had more impact to it, especially the bosses.
Isaac Todd · Oct 29, 2020 Reviewed on PC, SwitchRead full review - Aún estando en completo inglés. Aún teniendo unos tiempos de carga temibles. Aún tardando tres o cuatro horas en arrancar. Aún necesitando de un par de actualizaciones para evitar tirones, cuelgues y cierres inesperados. Y aún quedando lejos de la profundidad y riqueza del espejo en que se mira, Salt & Sanctuary. A pesar de todo eso, Vigil: The Longest Night es una experiencia perfectamente disfrutable.
David Arroyo · Oct 22, 2020 Reviewed on PC, SwitchRead full review - Vigil: The Longest Night è in definitiva un convincente metroidvania dalle influenza lovecraftiane che incontrerà il gusto degli amanti del genere. La produzione taiwanese riesce a proporsi come una valida alternativa ai grandi classici e presenta un buonissimo livello di personalizzazioni, assieme a un sistema di crescita del personaggio che stimola alla rigiocabilità, anche in virtù dei diversi finali.
