This game is a masterpiece
As anyone can tell you, the visuals are beautiful, with a gorgeous ambient ost that makes for great experiences, such as when you find a new region, or sit down next to a friendly npc
The game is difficult, but once you have adjusted to the controls, it tends to get better. It also has the best boss design ever, plus a wide array of beautifully designed and challenging enemies that all together make for immersive gameplay like no other. Keep in mind that it also isn’t a traditional metroidvania, with less upgrades that make each more meaningful on their own. The game is more open then something like Metroid, where after a few upgrades, the world is fully opened up
The narrative is a deeply hidden tale of sacrifice and redemption set in a fallen land, and while hard to decipher, hits all the right spots once you find/look up the lore.
10/10 would recommend
