So far this is easily one of the very best Metroidvania games I've played. To be honest, since Hollow Knight most of them have felt lacking, not at all the case here. A delightful game, charming, extremely well thought out and polished and just challenging enough. Actually it's one of the most balanced games I've played, the difficulty is ramped just enough in each new area and the puzzles range from easy to challenging.
Anyway so far I would absolutely recommend it, this is GOTY material for sure.
