This game is full of exploration, discovery, and epic adventure! Easily one of the best adventure/puzzle games I've ever played. It continued to surprise me and engage me with new and exciting areas and enemies and puzzles and, at times, just sheer awe. The level up system is organic and intuitive. Progression feels natural, like you are discovering new areas based on new skills and the ability to interact with the world in new ways, not just because you're told to go here or there. In fact, it felt like I had so much control that sometimes I wondered, "am I supposed to go this way? What if I went that other way instead?" But in a wonderfully engaging and enjoyable way This game has one of the greatest mechanics I've ever experienced in any game... There are milestones where you are given a sort of key that unlocks new areas. Nothing could possibly prepare you for what this experience is like! Mountains collapse into valleys, terrain rises up to form new cliffs and chasms and paths to traverse. The whole experience is jaw-dropping if your aren't expecting it, and it happens over and over again throughout the game. So cool! The controls are simple and intuitive. This game is just fun to play! Everything from running and jumping to rolling and attacking... It's the sort of the game where you catch yourself jumping or swinging your sword around for no real reason just because it's satisfying to do. The longer you play, the more comfortable you get and the more fun things you'll add to your toolbelt. The story is abstract but, like everything else, very intuitive with surprising twists that keep you wanting to discover more. I believe there are multiple endings as well. The ending I experienced definitely left it open to a possible sequel. If that's the case, Hob 2 will be the 3rd game I will ever preorder. I'll say it again... This is one of the best games I've ever played. Solid 10/10. If you enjoy adventure platformers there's no way you will be disapointed.
