Defunct Games reviews Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, available now on PlayStation 4. (Also available on Nintendo Wii U, 3DS, Steam and Xbox One.)

At long last, PlayStation 4 owners have a chance to discover WayForward's 2014 platformer, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. With charming visuals, sharp writing and a lot of intricate dungeons to overcome, this throwback action game is still worth playing. Too bad the adventure all but ignores Shantae's genie half in favor of the usual Metroidvania-style upgrades.
