Still early in but I really like everything about it. Will update review later.
The game and even demo had a great start. The characters seem cool, the combat system is a ton of fun and I like the parkour. At first the puzzles were cool but that gets old very quick. Just get to your first elemental dungeon and it is soooo long. I am currently at the second elemental dungeon and...I think I might quit playing this game now. These puzzles aren't fun. I just want to get back to good combat and advancing the game but I can't unless I want to waste hours inside a dungeon riddled with frustraiting puzzles or cheat and watch a youtube video (I'm not into doing that though.) When it comes to it...I don't know if I can recommend this game or not. If you are on the fence about this and don't like puzzles or are neutral toward them then first look up the subject and you will easily find a lot of post about people complaining about the puzzles.
Game is a lot of fun. Similar to the YS games but it is different. I like how it has monster/character info, fun gameplay, good music, decent story, funny characters (Even random NPC's), fun boss battles, and just some cute things here and there. The only complaint I have right now (I am in the late game I believe), would be that cutscenes are not skippable. This really sucks if you either died or had to quit then continue later and have to replay scenes you've already seen. On that note now that I thnk about it, I'm not sure you can pause the scenes either which I count as another negative.
Great metroidvania game. Tons to explore and pretty challenging. Also glad that it's on GOG and works great on Steam Deck.
