Combat

140 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very solid metroidvania recommendation for both the fans of exploration and combat (I'm in the first category exclusively).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game actually feels mysterious, and exploring it made me want to search every corner rather than just rush through the story, so I took my time to finish the story.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Didn't find the characters/locations quite as immersive as Ori/Hollow Knight's, but the distinct style they were going for looks nice, the high stakes story is presented in a pretty good fashion, collecting different shiny things routine is there.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very nice difficulty sliders can save you some nerves also, the accessibility features do stand out in this game, honestly respectful how many QoL features you can utilize.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is fun, the graphics are colorful and, to me, have character.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hearing some of those old SFX again genuinely gave me that nostalgic Prince of Persia feeling which I appreciate a lot.
