Played entirely on Steam Deck, ran at a smooth 60 and controls worked perfectly without tinkering.

Combat was super fun, easily the highlight of the game for me. The puzzles were fun and most of the dungeons were cool, but I despised the 3rd Dungeon and thought the 4th Dungeon was just all right. Bit of a weak middle portion, but the game has a very strong beginning and end. Platforming didn't feel super good, but it was mostly fine and improves a lot once you obtain a later item. Gorgeous art style and fluid animations.

Really fascinating game that forces you to balance exploration with the knowledge that every second brings another automaton closer to death. I ended with like 92% map completion and lost two automatons (I had enough dust, but didn't know how much game was left... oops). Definitely excited to see what the devs have cooking up next.
