Dropped the game at level 19.
There's a lot to like about moons of darsalon and I personally really enjoyed the demo which made me buy the full game earlier than I'd usually do. The visual style is unique and honestly pretty awesome, that combined with the amazing sound design really helps give it a very unique vibe that's easy to love.
My problem lies with the level design in the main campaign, the game actually seems more like a mario maker kind of deal with a campaign that tries to showcase different concepts from the level editor. The result is very hit or miss levels with a bunch of gimmicks, most of the time you end up just running around shooting things and quickly realize the game doesn't really do anything interesting with its lemmings/oddworld mechanic.
I think this had a lot of potential with its presentation and revisit of these mechanics, but the low quality level design leaves a pretty boring experience overall.
