Make no mistake though, MediEvil is actually a very humorous game. Our protagonist, Sir Daniel Fortesque, with no jaw and a chip on his shoulder, is constantly mocked by Gargoyles and even some of his fellow comrades in the Hall of Heroes. In the lore, Sir Dan is something of a joke, appointed to his position just for being best friends with the king. This does make his hero's journey a satisfying one though. Side characters like the Boatman and a sarcastic, lazy dragon really give this world life and ensure MediEvil remains a light-hearted affair.

In my opinion, MediEvil is one of the most perfect Halloween games. Its rogues gallery of horror tropes and autumn imagery, brought to life with a gorgeous, creative art style, sets the mood of the holiday just right. If you've never played this game, you owe it to yourself this Halloween season. The (2nd) remake of MediEvil comes out in just two days as well, so I guess you could just play that instead, but I will always recommend the original because it has a wonderful atmosphere that is really hard to match and recreate accurately. Whatever you go with, you're in for a macabre treat regardless, and it will always be one of my favorite games of all time.

I try in vain to slumber, my reveries gripped by violent terror. My only salvation, the shock of awakening. Something is very, very wrong here.
