What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
After 35 hours of gameplay, completing every main quest, side quest, bounty, and exploring all areas, including hidden ones, and defeating every boss, I can confidently say this game is one of the best metroidvania/souls-like games I’ve ever played.

Stunning Art Direction: The game’s 2.5D world is breathtaking, blending 2D visuals with subtle 3D depth to create a captivating atmosphere.
Outstanding Soundtrack: The OST, particularly the choral Prelude theme, is phenomenal and worthy of any music playlist.
My only complaint is that needing the catalyst for magic and switching between the two is hard to do with the default controls, luckily I moved switching to the back buttons on the Steam Deck and could utilize two weapon sets (sword & board) and (spear and catalyst) pretty well.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
