✦ AI summary

A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX is a competent but unremarkable side-scrolling action game that players describe as decidedly mediocre across most elements—gameplay, visuals, story, bosses, and progression systems all receive criticism for lacking distinction or innovation. While a few players praise it and note the soundtrack is solid, the consensus suggests the game feels dated and fails to stand out compared to other platformers, making it a difficult recommend even at a discount.

I would have loved to get the previous version and cover the differences between the two; However, as I do not currently have the means to do that, I need to postpone it to the future and update this review if I ever decide to play the other one as well.

it's...mediocre. maybe it was better 10+ year ago, but considering games that came out since then, this is nothing more than mediocre. mediocre gameplay, mediocre music, mediocre platforming, mediocre graphics, mediocre story, mediocre character, mediocre ranking system, mediocre leveling up system, mediocre "puzzles", mediocre bosses... it didnt age like milk, but is leagues away from a fine wine.
