I bought this game out of curiosity and within 2 hours was immersed (If you have an OLED display, turning the gamma in the games settings down to 30 or 35 makes the pixel art crisp without being too bright). There is a massive amount of content to unlock. No two runs are the same and memories are unlocked which effects the next run through so even losing the village feels like a satisfying defeat. The way choices have a lasting impact adds to the fun. There is also a story being told as you strive to keep your pips safe which adds immersion. Patch 1.2.0 is arriving today and adds many quality of life improvements. The developer also seems to care about the players in the sense that the games does occasionally reminds you to take a break and this is implemented in a non-intrusive way. I am very much enjoying this game and highly recommend it!
This game is a masterpiece. The music and sound is atmospheric, the graphics are beautiful and smooth (very consistent frame rate), there is a vast area to explore, lots of challenging bosses and character upgrades to get. If you enjoyed Super Metroid I suspect that you will enjoy this too!
