As a Metroidvania it works very well. there are not a lot of metroidvania based on shooter mechanics. I found the guns mechanics very boring and uninspiring. The dialogues are horrible. I do not care what my main character said, he is insufferable, and not in a charming way. The saving system sucks. It is not difficult to save or understand how to save, it just goes against your flow of exploration. As a platform it has its moments but it gets very old fast. The best thing about this game is the boss battles. They are challenging and interesting. But how they introduce the dialogues and if you lose, the pain of walking all the way from the checkpoint to the boss battle kills the joy of this game. It’s closer to Hollow Knight than other metroidvania games. So if you like HK, you would like this game. But in terms of story, exploration and charms, I don't find it an appealing game.

I do not request a refund because this game has an amazing level of quality in details and it is well programmed. I truly think it deserves my money. But it's just a game that doesn't inspire something in me. I would love to be less explanatory and have a more interesting design on levels. It feels empty in some way.
