Decent and way too short metroidvania for the price. Did almost everything in 4.5 hours. Would really need quality of life improvements on 3 parts: - Better map with easier navigation - Expanded fast traveling system - Downward thrust/attack which ignores hitboxes on the first frames so you almost always get hit by things and it is necessary and not fun to use. Metroidvania fans can buy from sale.

Good Metroidvania game with tough platforming sections. Great music and environments. Nothing too unreasonable in terms of achievements, but not too easy either. If you love platforming but hate combat, there are adjustments in the settings.

I'm leaving this review now because I do not want to forget to mention this.. Not sure how I feel about the game entirely, have not finished it but it does not completely appeal to me fully, but I am going to finish it and give my opinion. Though my main concern here is the FPS drops the constant lag at times...its insane..
