It's good but theres some very annoying aspects to it. The main thing being the map. You have to buy maps for every area instead of just exploring and opening the map up like in other games like it. And the guy you buy a map from isnt always easy to find.

It's one of my favorite games of all time, and unquestionably the best metroidvania ever made. The story is told beautifully, it's totally unique, the sounds and music are unforgettable, and the gameplay is polished af

I played it not really knowing anything about it and it blew me away

Also it's 40 hours for like $10

I thought getting lost was super fun. You've somehow ended up in a deep, dark hallway with who knows what new enemies around the corner and you don't even have a map yet

When youre killed by a boss it takes 10 minutes to get back to him...and on the path back to him you may die again.

and unquestionably the best metroidvania ever made.

Thats highly questionable. Super Metroid is better.

Losing all of your shit and not being able to find it can definitely be disheartening though. That's the name of the game in this genre mix but still, even the Dark Souls games are more forgiving regarding that.

There are only like three bosses like this, most are really easy to get back to

Amazing game and one of the best Metroidvania's ever made. It is challenging though, so if you don't like hard games you probably won't enjoy it much.

Its one of my favorite games ever and I bought it with low expectations. Im not a Metroidvania guy and yet its just... so good. Great lore, great world, great gameplay, great depth, feels from start to finish like a true passion project and you can sense the love put into every inch of it. Its also just STUNNING how much is there every time you think youve seen almost all of it, chances are theres a ton more left. I spent maybe 60 hours with it, 40-50 on a 100% run taking my time and then another chunk doing speedrun/permadeath challenges.

I got it for $15 and felt like I stole it. Best bang for my buck ever.

I don't like hard games and I couldn't beat the final boss, but I think if you suck at games like me you can just go explore more and use your newfound powers to beat the bosses

Anyone should be able to beat the game by just exploring and getting optional powerups until its easier, yeah.

Now the optional endgame bosses, Nightmare King Grimm and The Radiance, those are truly an ordeal. Theyre amazing fights but good that theyre optional.
