I'm maybe 50% through according to the save file, and it's been a great metroidvania so far. It is really tough, with unforgiving bosses and tough zones to track through. Some parts and bosses made me go "seriously!?", in terms of their expectations of the player. The pathfinding can sometimes feel like you are trying hard to access a secret area, only to find it was the intended way forward. That being said, I'm glad I pushed through because perseverance was all it took. Bosses follow memorizable patterns, etc.

There are hints of secrets, and secrets upon secrets, which is also why I wanted to play the game after itching for more Tunic and Animal Well. So, I predict it will only get better in that regard. Though perhaps frustrating too, that's okay, it's still fun to see what the puzzles are like.
