The Digital Fix: 8 / 10 by James Eckhoff

Technical difficulties aside, Horace is an endearing, nostalgic, platforming masterpiece. Even after having to start fresh at one point, I could not wait to jump right back in and play more.

GamesCreed: 4 / 5 by Asura Kagawa

Horace is a difficult 12-15 hour experience. The platforming and Metroidvania components are incredible. They’re continually obstructed by backtracking and difficult circumstances that could’ve been tended to with little upgrades. Horace is an indie game that will test gamers’ skills and a story loaded with heart-touching minutes.
