Finished my NG+ run of it today. I started the game expecting to enjoy it well enough but I was blown away by it completely. It focuses more on the combat with enemies/bosses but there's some decent platforming sprinkled around. The bosses are creative, hard but fair, exciting. Soundtrack is great. Even the story and its themes were right up my alley. Game takes place inside of a recently deceased space titan and you play what's essentially a black hole, absorbing things as you go that shouldn't have come alive in the first place and the various ways they cope with their existence and impending nonexistence. NG+ isn't even your standard fare of "stuff hits harder" but enemies and bosses both get new mechanics, and there are some NG+ exclusive equipment and a NG+ exclusive super boss that's fun as hell.

It is one of the 2D "Soulslikes" but more generous than others. It has its souls (called mass) but you don't lose them at all upon death. Only thing you lose is Ardor, which is just a mechanic that gives you bonus extra mass after killing enemies. I didn't even pay attention to it tbh. There's a good variety of weapons and armors and there are traits you can learn from absorbing enemies that you can then opt to level up for nice passive perks.

It has one more free DLC coming out for platformer lovers who want something like Hollow Knight's Path of Pain (will be out alongside the Switch port), and they just announced Grime II.
