One Of The Best Games Of The 2010's
Played my version of the game on the Switch, but am leaving a review here since I'm able to and this game deserves all the praise it's gotten. It's simply a masterful metroidvania that does an excellent job with both fluid combat and tight, responsive platforming and movement. It starts simple and slow enough so that new players can get into it without too much frustration, but much like Dark Souls which the game draws some inspiration from it gets quite challenging. All of the game's various challenges are excellently designed to be difficult but fair, and are always satisfying to overcome. The atmosphere is top notch with beautiful art and music which is just cheery enough to fit the somewhat cutesy art style, but also melancholic to match the game's overall dreary and dark tone. It also has an excellently designed world that is open enough to allow for exploration while still guiding new players through a recommended route. Each area is distinct in terms of both the visuals and enemies/hazards, with most being very memorable. It also does an excellent job telling its story through the environment as well as the moderate cast of characters you meet along the way. To top it all off, the game is absolutely massive for its minimal budget. Unlike certain AAA titles it's not just busywork doing generic tasks dotted around an overworld that's mostly the same. There's constant discovery, unique items and upgrades, secrets, and enticing new content hidden around virtually every corner which means the game rarely gets repetitive or unengaging. It's quality over quantity, but the game still has content in spades. My playthrough took me 60 hours to reach the "true" ending, and then there's post-game content on top of that which will put your skills to the ultimate test. Even if you aren't a big fan of 2D platformers, if you like soulslikes you should at least give the game a try. It's incredibly cheap for what's on offer, especially on sale.
