The Messenger Review
great
The Messenger fumbles the transition from platformer to Metroidvania, but strong core mechanics carry it a long way

The Messenger is home to a lot of speedrun categories, but unfortunately some of them are pretty long. So the speedrun featured in this video is a Linear speedrun, where you play through the linear portion of the game, right until it opens up and becomes more of a MetroidVania.
The Messenger is a sidescrolling action game developed by Sabotage Studio and published by Devolver Digital. It originally released on Nintendo Switch and PC back in 2018, eventually making its way onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
