Surprisingly good
I really didn't think this game was gonna be anything special, so I went with the good old "try it before you buy it" method. But now, being almost at the end of the game, I have to put my money where my mouth is, because I had a blast playing it. It's a metroidvania type of platformer, with a bigger focus on combat, rather then platforming. And I have to say the choice of character was really good. If you've played LOL, you know Ekko has some of the more unique/interesting abilities in the game and they are put to good use here. Everything from teleporting, slowing enemies, having a boomerang type of throwing weapon (that need quite a bit of skill to be used well) and of course rewinding time, is in the game. It's actually such a good idea to have the rewind, since it makes all the platforming so much more fun and forgiving. Instead of looking at crappy game over screen, you can just rewind and, as the game says, "do better". Ekko also has quite a few melee attacks: the standard combo, charge attack, sweep, lunge and aerial. So combing all that makes the game quite fun, the only problem is it also adds a lot of effects on screen...so sometimes you need to rewind just because you become confused on what happened. The story is very MEH...nothing to see here, but on the other hand the art style is beautiful, so seeing stuff around Zaun is quite a treat. I haven't played league in many many years, but I do however recommend this game (especially on sale) to anyone looking for a good time or a good metroidvania experience.
