This is one of the best roguelike games I have played, but I can also find some things I would like to change.

What's good:
- The game is easy to grasp and at the same time have a lot of things to discover.
- The visuals, atmosphere and immersion.
- The amount of options and the quality of the graphics settings. Having a performance benchmark in game is awesome.


What's bad:
- The amount of content for the price. Compared to other roguelike games this is expensive, even when on sale.
- Some times it feels very unfair, like the difficulty spike of certain enemies was an excuse to force you to die and extend the lenght of your playthrought. I would like the game to be a bit easier in general too, like taking less falling damage and having more checkpoints near bosses or that those that you bought in another biome count. The general design theme of the game is don't get hit and if you do don't get hit again in a short period of time.
- The early biomes have a bit too many items locked until you get unlock skills later. In my case when I unlocked being able to dive and walk over lava I never came back to the first areas of the game, so those areas were always harder than they should be. This is something that happens in lots of games, but since I find this one harder I feel like this is something worth mentioning.
- Several important issues with coop. It seems like coop was an afterthought because there are several key points in the game where in order to even see the prompt to progress the other player has to leave the game and you need to save your cycle, restart the game and continue the cycle. Also if by some chance your partner gets kicked out because a disconnection, a game error or because they have to leave temporarily or for whatever reason, then in many points in the biome you are not going to be able to resummon him because you can't go back to the summoning sphere. Also your partner doesn't keep any progress made in your game, he gets your progress only when he joins you.
