I can't believe how freaking late I am to the party and how I've wasted so much time on so called "Triple A Titles" when masterpieces like this were waiting for me.
Honestly didn't think I would enjoy 2D Action Platformers (I refuse to call it by that "genre."), but this game just blew me away. Slow start, but it was all compensated through the intrigue of exploration. It was difficult at first, but the more I played, the more I got immersed in the world and the gameplay. Felt like a 2D Breath of the Wild - not as much exploration or collecting, but just as much fun and sense of progression and achievement.
Thank you Team Cherry for such an awesome game!
Hands down my favorite game of the past decade.
