The game starts slow but picks up. Good combat. The story is decent, though not the main draw. The real highlight is the art, which look amazing.

This game is not metroidvania. It has some aspects of it: ability progression, and ability gating. But no backtracking implemented. This is a pure linear experience with no way of using new abilities in the early stages of the game. Good things in my opinion: - visual style - combat system, however seems like not at its full potential - some precise platformer sections - the animations in the trailer :) Bad things…

game is decidedly mediocre. The dialogue is actively bad, and acts to take you out of immersion. I could forgive this if the gameplay was fun, but the combat is stiff, the enemies are annoyingly designed, and the platforming is uninteresting
