As an avid fan of the SOTN, and Super Metroid style metroidvanias, this game hits all the right boxes for me, and I'm not the first to laud its gameplay, feel, art, music, and story. This game is a modern take on a lot of the previously mentioned game mechanics, with much more of an action approach, and a lot more interesting content. If you like the previously mentioned games, ori and the blind forest, action platformers, or, honestly, just good games, do yourself a favor and pick this one up. This is one of the few games I've played recently that I feel merits more than its full price tag, especially for how much added love and content the development team has provided since i snagged this. Definitely one of the best games I've played recently, or, if I'm being honest, probably ever.

It is atmospheric and immersive with a style that is reminiscent of Tim Burton, but has it's own twist, and a bug theme. It manages to be slightly whimsical, yet threads a melancholy feel that has a nod to humor, manages to be sad, and dark, while it keeps you wanting to figure out more about the world. The game doesn't particularly hold your hand (which i highly appreciate), and there's a lot of stories and interactions that are subtle and leave you wondering about the world that came before the game. The game has a very good understanding of itself, and what it has to offer, leaving the player with a large world, with a rich back story that they feel only partially privy to, and get to know more of as the game progresses.

One of the places the game really shines is it's clean and polished controls. A hail back to the classics, this game is very satisfying to master. Jumps, dashes, wall clings, and their various combinations make this game feel responsive and satisfying, but the challenging boss fights definitely keep you on your toes and ensure you are properly mastering said mechanics. Add in an innovative skill system, great music, challenging platforming sections, a metroidvania style map to explore, ability upgrades, special missable collectibles and content, alternate endings, and various types of swappable upgrades, in the form of badges that let you customize your characters skills, and this game feels very complete. Yet it still keeps having more content added.

To me this is the epitome of a well done modern game. A game that has clearly been made with attention to detail and love, with a thought out story that is immersive in content, art style and music, and with game mechanics that make a playthrough (or multiple) enjoyable from beginning to end. Give me this to a game that pushes the limits of my hardware any day.
