YMMV / MediEvil: Resurrection

• Game-Breaker: Woden's Brand. It can dispatch anything short of Shadow Demons and bosses in a single hit. If you have the patience to get this weapon at the earliest possible time (the first time you go to Gallowmere Plains), you will use it for the rest of the game. Every weapon you get from the Hall of Heroes will rot in your inventory while you swing Woden's Brand around. Excluding the parts where you're forced to use other tactics. However, because of all the mini-game hell you have to go through to get the carnival tokens, it better damn well be one.
• Polished Port: While very few would consider it better than the original and everyone agrees the PS4 remake is overall better, Resurrection is still considered an excellent remake in its own right that did fix a few problems the original had, such as the toning down the sudden difficulty spikes and replacing the completely random Good Lightning from the original game with the much more plot relevant Anubis Stone. In addition, it allowed players more conveniences such as repairing all shields and purchasing energy vials and lightning, the latter of which was unobtainable barring a roundabout way involving imps and merchant gargoyles. The game also explained vaguer things in the lore and made plot additions that have since been accepted into the overall canon (like Dan’s history). Finally, the musical remixing is jaw-droopingly amazing, capturing the sad state of affairs Gallowmere is in to boot, and was even reused at times in the new remake.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Some warm up to Al-Zalam by the endgame, where his advice becomes a lot more useful and he risks his life to save Dan.
• The Scrappy: Al-Zalam is widely hated by fans of the series, who consider him an annoying and unnecessary addition to the game. The foreword of the comic tie-in to the MediEvil PS4 remake mocks him and this game as a whole by presenting them as being part of an alternative theory on Sir Dan's history, which is immediately dismissed as preposterous.
