solid action platformer, great gameplay (moving and shooting feels great), really good boss-fights and interesting story/characters.
the Metroidvania elements are not that good though, backtracking leads only to resources and most of the actual upgrades you can get with them feels subpar not to mention the linearity, I would say it's only good for 100% completion mark as the game never feels rewarding in terms of exploration in an regular playthrough.
the puzzle-solving can get repetitive as well, the game has it's interesting ideas with them but most of the time I wanted to get back to the platforming sections and combat scenarios.
overall an great game, the story while a bit convoluted at the start is memorable and has it's own set of unique themes and the characters are rich, great boss-battles and gameplay, could be more fleshed-out as an Metroidvania though as it is considered to be part of the genre.
