Pretty Darn Good
This game isn't perfect. I'm not all of the way through it yet, but already I've come to several parts that were very frustrating. Most often, this was due to being too far from a save point during a difficult section and constantly having to retrace my steps every time I died. Also, there are times in the game that I've felt completely lost as to what I was supposed to be doing or where I was supposed to be going. So a little more direction would have been helpful. However...... Get beyond the few sticking points of this game and what you have is a great example of what has become known as a Metroidvania. I've never really understood where the Castlevania influences are in these games, but the Metroid influence is unmistakable. Game play is typical of these sort of games; you adventure around collecting new equipment that allows you to access areas previously unreachable, in turn granting you access to new equipment. TAG also has a charming story with a surprisingly deep back story that keeps your adventure connected with the history of the land that your exploring. Not since Cave Story or Knytt Stories have I had this much fun in a Metroidvania. The controls do feel a little mushy at times, like the character is wading through waist deep syrup and walking on ice; Super Meat Boy controls these are not. But that and the aforementioned save game locations not always being close enough to a difficult area are really my only grips with this game. To get something this good for free makes this the best deal on GOG right now.
