Replaced puts you into precise 2.5D platformer combat | hands-on gameplay

Replaced is a 2.5D sci-fi action platformer with a retro twist. You play as R.E.A.C.H., an artificial intelligence that has been trapped in a human body against its will.

At the Summer Game Fest Play Days event, I was able to play a 20-minute demo of the game coming from Sad Cat Studios, a remote studio founded in Belarus. The title is coming for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, Windows PC, and with Xbox Game Pass.
