Don't treat it as a Metroidvania
Though many reviews are calling it such, this is NOT intended to be a metroidvania. While the map is big and exploration heavy, there are plenty of warp points and none of it is dependent on what equips you have. While there are some secrets and backtracking, almost all of them are for chests that (kinda spoilers) you are incentivized not to go after. It does play like one of the earlier Castlevania games otherwise. TLDR - kinda slow 2d side stroller with weak controls and strong focus on items and synergies. Overall, this was a decent game (3.5*) but not one I would recommend. The main appeal are its many weapons, items and equips. You should be constantly finding synergies and ways to cheese encounters. For example, using thunder or ice in water damages everything in the water, including you. But if you are immune to that kind of damage... Controls are awkward and even after beating the game I still would not feel comfortable trying to move, roll, jump, and attack together. I would concentrate on two and "switch styles" to deal with attacks. Melee is supposed to be kinda weak as it doesn't consume resources, but after you get reliable ways to get mp or returning ammunition, you rarely want to use it. It is quite slow, especially with block being so useful and later on you basically want to recharge after each kill. You can go much faster and skip a lot but first time through you often want to go carefully and thoroughly. Enemies do a lot of DOT to basically waste your resources, ie using an antidote every time you are poisoned as the DOT can be over half the damage. Bosses are both the fun and annoying bits as they often have attacks that basically 1hko you in the harder difficulties if you're caught. It kinda has to be that way as later on you can do the Skyrim style of healing by eating a bunch in pause menu every time you are hit. Jumps are not great and the platforming parts are thankfully fairly short but unfortunately plentiful.
