“I REALLY wanted to like this game. There is a lot to love here, so I start with the positives. The visuals are absolutely amazing. Easily one of the best looking games I've ever played. Same goes for the music.…”
“Sort of mixed on this game. On one hand it has good visuals and music. On the other, the combat is lackluster and it is hard to tell if something is an enemy or a spike. Its worth the price though”
“the reason for the negatve review is that you can't remap controls within the game. I wanted to play on a keyboard as I don't enjoy using controllers in platformers and it was a massive headache. I was only able to get…”

“Everything before getting double jump was honestly kind of painful and I actually considered dropping it. Everything after was awesome - you can do some really nice movements with the skills, and they work very well…”
“Story had me crying at the end ngl. I have to say I,m not the biggest fan of platforming games and mostly because I'm not good - like really not good, I died almost 600 times during my first playthrough :/ - but this…”

“Beatiful game, solid platformer, unique enemies and gameplay, can be challenging and makes you think with some slight puzzle solving. Reccomend.”
“This game is brutally hard at times. If you want a punishing platformer, this is for you.”
“Amazing game. I consider it as one gems of my game library. This as one of that rare game, where I went for 100% completion. Story for me was little bit confusing, but I get main idea. Gameplay is very fun and dynamic.…”

“This game and it's sequel's endings made me cry. 10 out of 10. One of the best and most beautiful games I've ever played in my life. The art and music is phenomenal, the gameplay is amazing, and the secrets are cleverly…”

“It's an incredible game, one of the best metroidvanias ever, though be warned, it has maybe a bit more platforming than you expect. Great graphics and animation, an excellent soundtrack and really smooth gameplay, it's…”
“A simple but beautifully told story wrapped in a nice metroidvania. However if you are a completionist and really want to get all the stuff on the map, the game might overstay it's welcome, so I recommend pacing it the…”

“Great game to play on the deck. hopefully this review comes on top for OLED users, so they cap the fps to 60 in system (3 dot button). This will resolve the stuttering issue and will make the playthrough more enjoyable”
