The Big Below is a game heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda for the NES, but feeling like it could've been a game for a console that was slightly less powerful than the NES. You have a sword, some arrows and bombs and try to find keys to unlock the necessary doors to reach a level boss, with some enemies, traps and puzzles to be in your way. The difficulty seems set at a reasonable level to not be frustrating or keep you stuck for too long. This is no masterpiece of a game, but it's fairly competent as a homage to the early 1980s adventure genre. It's biggest pro is that it succeeds in recreating the joy of exploration from those old games, and rewards the player for finding secrets. I can recommend the game at it's price point, but keep your expectations to the point where you're expecting a good (but not great) game from this era of gaming.
