It has pretty much everything going for it, good level design, fun combat, an engaging story, great music & unique visuals whilst also being well optimized & bug free.

107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A really well designed Metroidvania that captivates with smooth controls, interesting abilities, fun combat mechanics, diverse enemy design and tons of secrets.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Art is gorgeous (although can be hard to tell background from surfaces you can interact with sometimes) and I had no issues with movement/controls/combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is quite disparate and it has its own vibe, based on Korean folktales, the game has unique and gruesome creature designs.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played on Normal, and it's decently challenging, I'd say it's equivalent to a hard difficulty on other games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Especially thanks to the wonderful atmosphere, courtesy of the visuals and soundtrack.
