Had a ton of fun with the unique grappling hook mechanics! It really added an interesting touch to the gameplay, especially in the challenge climbs and in certain boss fights. I also loved the different array of weapons we got, I was able to find a niche for every single one. Loved exploring all the different zones, there were tons of little details that changed depending on which zone you were currently in.

Coming from games like Hollow Knight, Blasphemous and Nine Sols where save points were scarce, I was surprised at how generous the game was with save points, maybe a bit too generous at times. Still, a nice change of pace from those previously mentioned titles.

You can honestly take or leave the story/lore, I personally didn't get a lot out of it. I especially felt like the characters didn't receive enough development to keep me invested.

I would definitely recommend this game if you are looking for a low-stakes platformer/Metroidvania that shies away from your traditional melee combat system

I really can't understand why is this game so less known. You have for 15 hours of adventure with cool music, incredible bossfights and a very satisfying gameplay.

This metroidvania isn't like others: every new ability you get is original (for example the grappling hook) and you don't even need them, you got the liberty to bypass some platforming sections with tricky jumps (you can litterally go to the final boss within 15 minutes)

The game is really good in its main mechanics: combat and platforming. Combat is well enhanced by the diversity of weapons and trinkets (items like Hollow Knight charms) while platforming is very unique with the grappling hook.

You also can play 9 hours of peak free DLC content. It does not gives you rewards, but it is still a very fun Celeste-like section to play. Devs are still adding new content over months.

This game is too underrated for me to not give a positive review, usually idc enough to give out one because the game is well known but I can't in good faith do that to a game like this. If you love platforming and good momentum based movement then please play this game, it has a speedrun mode and even a easy mode for each ends of the spectrum. Shout out to the developers for making an amazing game.
