Preemptive tldr; Ato is a stunning game that may have some flaws and on higher difficulties can be a bit unfair but is overall worth your money for the time you get and the challenge combined with the stunning visuals and music.

He starts off with a simple directional slash, but quickly gains a medley of skills to help with mobility and progression, from normal upgrades like double jump and dodge roll, to more unique skills such as the quick-draw.

Then if you ever sit back just to enjoy the details you might notice the soundtrack in the back a nice blend of soothing tones while exploring searching for all the game’s hidden nooks and crannies and energetic fight music to get you really pumped for the games fantastic boss fights.
