Is Psychic World still worth playing in 2026?
An action RPG from Sega, Psychic World sends the fighter Lucia through dungeons using elemental psychic powers against mutant monsters. The action platformer blends energy shots, power gauge management and stage progression, in a spirit close to Mega Man tinged with light RPG. The polished production and the character design appeal, despite a sometimes rough difficulty. For a fan of retro action platforming or someone curious about overlooked Sega productions, the title keeps an endearing character and a real personality.
