This game does a lot of things I haven't seen in a retro style pixel art sidescroller, and goes out of it's way to make cool moments and set pieces to play up the story it's telling.
Accessibility

27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully, for all that the game tries to be difficult at times, it has a full range of accessibility options you can optimize for your specific needs.
Graphics

26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
despite the a large map paired with a limited graphics style, the visuals dont feel repetitive at all. each area feels unique and it feels rewarding to explore the map. enemy designs are interesting and varied.
