(Previously bought on Steam where I've clocked 133 hours so far) This has become my favorite game. As big Zelda fan I'd never imagine I would like this game more than any Zelda title, but I do. Being a metroidvania, the progression is similar to the non-linear Zelda games. The world is a blast to explore, and everytime you find an upgrade or ability you can reach new areas. This game is difficult (platforming and particularly combat) and before this game I thought I didn't like difficult games. But Hollow Knight taught me that difficulty can be fun if the game is fair and you notice you are getting better each try. The artstyle is gorgeous and the soundtrack was way better than expected. You are robbing yourself if you don't but this game.
This is a flawed but fun metroidvania-like game. It is hard, but unlike the great games like Hollow Knight this game can also be unfair. You can get hit by enemies that are off-screen, causing you to fall onto instant-death spikes for example. The upgrades and collectables are alright, but many of them didn't seem all that useful while others that are well hidden are extremely useful. The final flaw that is exclusive to the GOG-version is that there sadly is no Linux version. When I found out I had to refund and buy it on Steam, which is a shame.
