This is technically a metroidvania, but there’s is zero combat, and everything is a one-hit kill. The load times after death are instant, so it’s not a huge deal. But sometimes this minimalism of only having a couple buttons you can press detracted rather than added.
The worst part is the story, which is kinda the most generic uninspired writing that really numbed me. Also, the quest structure is just rinse repeat for every level (go get the 3 things to open this door!). Art style is also pretty bland and unoriginal.
Overall I had a decent time, but it’s not a game I’ll ever think about again or recommend to anyone.
