Very mixed bag here. Has a very cool mix of dope map-interconnectedness, exploration and abilities revealing new areas/materials/loot etc that I found very compelling after a very dry opening. Combat, movement and controls on the other other hand are, at best, serviceable, particularly in a genre like metroidvania that has so many great feeling games. Another plus is how great the backgrounds are - parts of the game look really dope - and the sheer amount of content in the game. The story, which is very straightforward with some cool side quest stuff, is unfortunately let down by terrible dialogue. Also, the game is pretty glitchy. All in all I enjoyed it for the pleasure of exploring the map, maxing out abilities etc.
