What players think
The recurring themes across 235 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The premise sounds deliberately absurd, yet the game treats it as the foundation for a surprisingly cohesive journey filled with Egyptian ruins, supernatural curses, hidden treasures, unusual characters, platforming, combat, and exploration.
Instead, Egyptian mythology and treasure hunting are mixed with playful dialogue and intentionally quirky situations, producing an identity that separates the experience from darker games in the genre.
Another welcome feature is the choice between Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty settings.
The game runs successfully on SteamOS, its interface text is considered legible, and the default graphics configuration performs well.
Once you solve the aforementioned frame rate issues, the game is very smooth to play and, like any good Metroidvania, becomes even more enjoyable as you unlock new traversal and combat abilities.
From stylish old-school 2D graphics and great overall art style to an upbeat soundtrack that fits the game to the, from responsive and tight controls to balanced level design with just the right difficulty of platforming, the level of quality throughout all of Pharaoh Rebirth is surprisingly high.
