The gameplay honestly feels great too, although some bosses are a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with I had a ton of fun playing this game.

The visuals and sound are enthralling and it was unusual to have a Metroidvania with a decent narrative - both through evolving NPC relationships and environmental storytelling.

As far as action goes, a variety of movement abilities, melee, and ranged weapons kept the minute-to-minute play interesting.
