Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Overall a 5/10 game, you can feel the jank in the cutscenes and the gameplay the moment you start, its ok in the fun and potential combos from the skill tree but overall it feels terrible.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Music is not the strong point of this game, but the artstyle is amazing, maybe an improvement to the character meshes and textures would be awesome.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
It's what you'd expect, with some metroidvania aspects that could be improved, most notably the map with teleporting to one of your safe spots, as everything on the controller will snap you to their icon, and when the icon is in between 3-4 things, it's a pain to have to zoom in (one action) and move the camera (2nd action) very slowly, rather than being able to do it all at once quickly and efficiently, because they both cancel out each other.
