GRIME

Once filled up, you can use it to slowly heal yourself; this forces you to be more aggressive during the combat, and that is right up my alley.

Weapon variety is a major strength with each weapon class feeling distinct and encouraging different playstyles and experimentation.

Overall this is a great Soulslike-Metroidvania, with amazing and unique visuals and very distinct zones.

Mastering difficult platforming sections provided plenty of items, fun exploration, and story progression.

Nevertheless, it immediately caught my interest once I browsed through its screenshots, as its dark yet beautiful visuals and the premise of delivering a surrealistic environment filled with bones and entrails was captivating enough for me.

That is a great first impression, I would say; luckily, it manages to keep that quality for the whole playthrough, and I have nothing but praise for the soundtrack.
