A wide variety of mechanics and tools available to the player layer problem solving and planning atop the usual skill sets used in a Metroidvania, keeping things fresh and varied.

The game is a wonderful experience with glorious visuals, smooth yet simple combat and a vague but interesting narrative.
Story

In fact, it was quite the opposite: The mystical story was right up my alley, the character design felt very familiar, and the world design shone with a vibrant colour palette and detailed depictions of architecture, flora and fauna.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is subtle and atmospheric, giving each environment a distinct feel that ties into its mechanic / niche / gimmick, creating a more immersive experience.
