Part of the reason the difficulty can be pushed so much in this game is due to how precise and satisfying the controls are.
Gameplay

All in all, bad_vertex has done a fantastic job with not just replicating the classic retro platforming experience on a gameplay basis but also putting serious efforts towards recreating just how it felt to play a good and (mostly) well-designed platformer game in the late 90s, as the immersion I felt playing PsiloSybil is almost second to none and I frankly wouldn't have it any other way!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

All this is to say nothing of the game's beautiful PSX-esque graphics, its solid enough soundtrack.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Non-level design neat stuff includes the visuals, which shine with the myriad of old-school filters you can apply (including a very convincing PS1-style texture warping), and some of the music tracks, even if I admit a few of them get grating after a while, I can at least appreciate the experimental, ethereal vibes this game's soundtrack is going for.
