Rusted Moss is an enjoyable and innovative Metroidvania that oozes charm through its unique setting and the tight design of its movement mechanics.

The story is pretty good, but the real gem is the combat and movement, especially towards the endgame when everything opens up (the music is really good too, even if it's simple).

Tons of secrets, optional high-difficulty areas, a few sidequests and even a map editor!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

They're ofc integral to the aforementioned mood, but also I'd like to note that they make all enviro/characters distinctive and that graphics stay legible even when the game gets busy.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack generally fits quite nicely with what is happening on the screen and which area you are traversing.
