Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking uninterrupted platforming, since death and resurrection are central actions in progression

Our take on REZ PLZ
The store presentation foregrounds the unusual kill-and-resurrect premise, but the wider structure is a puzzle platformer with spells, story progression, cosmetic unlockables, gauntlet levels, and a bonus foot-race mode rather than a death-focused standalone format.
What is REZ PLZ?
REZ PLZ is a puzzle platformer about apprentice wizards Arcan and Zeph, whose Resurrection Scroll brings them back after death.
In solo or cooperative play, players solve environmental puzzles, cross platforming challenges, fight monsters, and navigate traps that can kill a brother in one hit. Progress often requires deliberately sacrificing one brother and reviving him later. New spells become available during the adventure, but poorly used magic can also cause death. The game includes cosmetic unlockables, challenging gauntlet levels, and bonus modes such as a player-versus-player foot race. Its story follows the brothers as they resist the forces of Dark Arcanum after their school is attacked.

REZ PLZ compared to similar games
REZ PLZ combines platforming puzzles with cooperative sacrifice-and-resurrection mechanics, while Jusant centers on solo climbing, route choice, stamina management, and environmental discovery. Sundered: Eldritch Edition is framed as a chaotic metroidvania with combat and roguelite elements, rather than REZ PLZ's puzzle-led cooperative structure.
