Great game, challenging (annoyingly so at times) but rewarding. Beautiful to explore, story that doesn't intrude on the gameplay but keeps you informed.
It's so very close to the overall vibe that super Metroid has, which is high praise.
I've gotten stressed out with this game from time to time but really it's only because I'm being impatient and rushing in a game that wants you to learn and plan and take your time.
My criticisms are limited. I don't like that if you die, it can be quite a long distance from the nearest bench back to where you were to go kill your ghost and get your points back. But I can't think of another original platformer released in the last 5 years that's quite this good.
This game is damn brilliant. I remember buying the game and being a bit uncertain about it, as I had never played a metroidvania before and only a small number of platformers. This game destroyed my expectations. It has a brilliant combat system, smooth platforming, a killer soundtrack and lore for those who want it. It's difficult enough to be challenging but not so difficult that it makes we want to kill myself. There's still challenging encounters for those who want it and I can't imagine any way it could be better. This has managed to become my favorite game of all time and manages to make fighting a dung beetle fun. 10/10, now stop reading the damn reviews and go play it, go on, it's too good not to!
THIS GAME IS SO SO SO GOOD ITS AWESOME AND VERY FUN TO PLAY ALONG WITH STUNNING VISUALS AND PLEASING SOUND DESIGN AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF IT HAS AMAZING MUSIC AND GAMEPLAY AND TO THINK IT WAS MADE BY SUCH A SMALL TEAM IS AMAZING THEY DESERVE SO MUCH RECOGNITION FOR THEIR WORK!!!!! THIS GAME IS BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVOURITES AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY FOREVER YOU MUST BUY IT OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HAVING THE BEST GAME OF 2017!!!!!! do not pirate the game or you die. you must give team cherry the money they deserve for their awesome project.
Everything about this game (design, direcrion, music, gameplay...) is above standards, if you love soulslikes and platforms, this is the perfect game for you.
