Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I had already played this game to completion 1-2 years ago on another account..i've now tried it and it seems like the full version as i remembered it...therefore i will write my (short) opinion taking for granted that the game is the exact same without NG+, added characters etc as advertised.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay wise easily one of the best translations of the soulsborne+metroidvania inspired formula that i've seen..only Salt & Sanctuary, Hollow knight and Momodora: Reverie under the moonlight can hold a candle to it.
