Extremely shallow and stale
It starts out good and promises to be a short but intense metroidvania game, but falls flat extremely fast. The combat is unbelieveably boring and monotonous. There are just a few combos, who quickly prove to be useless except parrying certain enemies, and a special aoe ability (there's only one, even though the game tries to lie by giving out various "upgrades" who change little but its presentation). This already turns the game into a boring slug-fest, because fighting is all you do in these games. You just spam aoe until the game lets you progress further. Sometimes you will fight, eh, a "boss" (?), but more often than not it's just a bullet sponge or a scripted and timed event (the manor ghost you need to run away from). You do have an inventory system and an upgrade system, but soon enough I learned to ignore it and just spam additional healing items wherever I could. Levels are extremely unimaginative and I doubt any real design thought was invested in making them. There are a few ultimately easy puzzles (that mostly include precise timing over thinking at least a little bit on them) and a lot - I mean, A LOT - backtracking after receiving a new game-changing ability: like a... double jump. Now you can backtrack to the first levels to fight respawned trash to open that tasty, tasty treasure chest. It's extremely time consuming without any challenge attached. I've used "extremely" a lot, don't you think? Because the game is extreme in its mediocrity and leaves me extremely puzzled on why it's so beloved. Can't find any other explanation other than a simple golden eye target marketing. It's a furry title that guilt-trips all of them into buying it and loving it, because it has furry animals in it. Call about viral marketing. This product is more of a perfect "target title", than a good video game, which there's little and it's mostly just stale and mediocre. Imagine a praise Captain Claw (but it's actually good) would receive if it was released today.
