Atmospheric metroidvania goodness
First off, the controls. I actually found them surprisingly fluid and spot on. Most reviews here are trashing them, but I've found zero issues, both in platforming and combat. Played though the game on a keyboard just fine, but I had to remap a lot of keys (movement to arrows, actions on A,S,D,F,E,Q,SHIFT). The gameplay is usual metroidvania with usual secrets and mandatory backtracking with new abilities. Make sure to mark the spots with hidden paths and unreachable collectibles on the map from the start, or you're going to miss a ton of stuff. Depending on the path you take, it can take VERY long until you get access to all of the navigational abilities. Combat is decent, but also the usual. Every enemy has specific moves and a clear way on how to best defeat them. Once you figure it out, that enemy will basically never touch you again in a 1v1. Dying is pretty punishing, because it reduces the XP you gain and max mana, until you recover your spirit where you died. You lose no XP on death and there can be multiple spirits, so you can always fully recover. If you don't want to go fetch it, there are a few areas where you can pay XP to recover it. The actual combat controls are pretty simple. There is just attack, parry and dodge. You can also unlock a ranged attack and cast spells, which both consume mana. As for the story, there are 3 possible endings. If you're going to be playing without a guide, you are pretty much guaranteed to get the bad ending as the other endings require you to do some arbitrary stuff with some random items and certain activities. NPCs move around randomly all over the map as you progress the side quests so unless you stumble upon them randomly again as you are wandering around, you aren't going to be completing a lot of the side quests either and some of the puzzles can be quite obscure. If you're going in blind, expect to miss a lot of stuff. Overall, a solid 8/10. Metroidvanias are not my usual cup of tea, but I liked this one.
