I enjoyed erry second of it (Except Dominique's Curse!) I never thought I'd ever grind in a Metroidvania as if it were another RPG, but here I am.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't improve, but getting new abilities like Double Jump, Accelerator, High Jump, and better weapons makes the movement significantly less insufferable.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fantastic Soundtrack: The score by veteran Castlevania composer Michiru Yamane is a beautiful, gothic masterpiece that perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.

I'm excited by the other playable characters, a randomizer, and just trying the game again in the future understanding the systems and general path better.
