Traditional roguelike goodness meets "Johnny" combo madness with absolutely ZERO wiki-hunting required. Hallelujah.
Remarkably addicting, I've missed meals and lost sleep to this thing.

Most ridiculously high-quality crossover DLC of all time. If you've played Castlevania it's impossible to play this without a big dumb grin on your face.
Oh, and at a steal of a price, just as with the base game.

A compact open-world adventure that makes good use of every inch of area and has more secrets than you can fathom.
Maybe it's just my playstyle, but combat seems to favor ranged; any melee slip-up chunks your health, and healing is relatively scarce.

Ya like the 2D Zeldas but wish they were harder? Ya like FEZ-esque mysteries? If so, this is the game for you. I've not played anything else quite like this, and it's wormed its way into my all-time favorites.

This is a game that expects a lot from the player. You are expected to be observant, experiment, and persevere in the face of monumental challenges, and it's all the more rewarding for it. Do NOT look up hints before you see "The End." You can only experience this fresh ONCE, and I haven't felt anything like putting together the final pieces in a long, long time.

Note that if you DISLIKE any of the above, particularly in enjoying obtuse puzzles, you're likely to have a rough time. But if you're like me, and manage to tick every box, this game is priceless.

Oh, and the soundtrack is beautiful to boot.

An excellent game to "trick" people who might otherwise be intimidated by your standard "assembly-puzzle" game into playing one, and they'll be having too much fun to notice.
A particularly nice aspect is that it's exactly as hard as you want it to be. Choose to optimize for low-cost, speed, or size, or a mixture of the three. Or if a puzzle is getting to you, just get it done!

How haven't I already reviewed this?
Game is terribly clever, also hard.
If you like puzzle games in any regard, you need to play this. End of story.

Damn good Sokoban style puzzle game, with somewhat Zelda-like approach. Good art, good soundtrack, good puzzles, just a very solid package altogether.
I couldn't put this thing down until I 100%'d it.

BE WARNED, however: The game is a new release, there are a number of bugs. I myself ran into a rather nasty one that locked me out of full completion, forcing a restart.
That I give this game a positive review despite that major snag should speak to how much I've enjoyed this.
