The ''MediEvil'' remake received a mixed reception from critics. Review aggregate websites such as Metacritic, OpenCritic, the Russian Критиканство, as well as the now-defunct Game Rankings, all placed the game at an average score of around 67/100.<ref name="Metacritic"/><ref name="OpenCritic"/><ref name="Kritikanstvo"/><ref name="Game Rankings"/>
 
GamStat, a website which estimated total player counts for PlayStation games, indicated that ''MediEvil'' was most popular in Czechia and Slovakia.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417001110/https://gamstat.com/games/MediEvil/|site=GamStat (archived version)|title=MediEvil}}</ref> This was likely due to the game being fully dubbed in the Czech language; most PlayStation games only receive Czech subtitles, if they are localised at all.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.playstation.com/cs-cz/local/cz-hry/|site=PlayStation|title=Lokalizované hry (Česká republika)|retrieved=May 4, 2024}}</ref>{{Note|name="czech"|The page about Czech localisations on the PlayStation website erroneously lists ''MediEvil'' as only having Czech subtitles.}}
