This is my favorite game of all time. It is amazing. I own it on 4 different platforms.

For starters, it's simply beautiful. The graphics are vibrant and colorful. The atmosphere is somber and intriguing. The music--oh, the music--is a masterpiece that rivals no other game I've ever played.

You get to explore this vast, varying landscape in the overworld and these cold, creeping tunnels underground. For every moment of battle there are two moments of calming and curious exploration; plenty of secrets are available to locate, but they're never so secretive that you feel too lost.

The more intensive gameplay is challenging but satisfying; a high skill ceiling allows for so many ways to master all of the mechanics. Nothing feels better than finishing a long fight and executing every maneuver perfectly--even if perfection is not necessary.

Some reviewers have criticized the cryptic nature of the game's storytelling, but I myself find its mystery to truly add to the experience. The world around you is both immersive and isolating; plenty of space is left for your own interpretation.

Alx Preston, the creator of this work of art, has described it as an metaphor for his troubled life whilst living with congenital heart disease that looms over him with a ominous chance of fatality. Preston and Heart Machine have truly developed a fantastic experience.

Thank you for reading.
