What players think
The recurring themes across 191 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
As of writing this I have close to 10 hours in the game between the early access release and the Act 1 demo, and as it stands even in early access, Magenta Horizon is one of the easiest recommendations of my life to fans of action games, spectacle fighters, platformers, and just unique and challenging experiences in gaming in general.
It of course doesn't stop there though, because all of this synergizes with the core gameplay pretty masterfully as well.
A lot of this is owed to the incredible visuals with a unique cacophony of color, twisted enemy designs and area backgrounds with a hand-painted flair, and of course a fantastic and incredibly unique orchestral/prog-metal soundtrack that complements this all beautifully.

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. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
