I guess the time limit is fine for people who are into that sort of thing. I find it frustrating because screwing up too much means that your 8+ hour playthrough is hosed. It's a lot harsher than MM's 3-hour time loop that can be repeated indefinitely without any permanent fail state. Unlike Majora's Mask, there's a time penalty for dying in combat as well. Depth perception when making jumps (and navigating the world, in general) can be an issue at times due to the isometric perspective. This makes the time limit feel a bit unfair.

The character designs are unappealing and the story/writing is very basic. The fairy companion is annoying and feels out of place. Just shut up already!

No Steam Cloud support in a 2021 game is very lame.

There's a lot of different gameplay mechanics/genres being pulled from. It's a Zelda Metroidvania hybrid with crafting + fishing from games like Minecraft and parries + bonfires from Soulsbornes, I guess? I'm not sure if it all meshes together. Half of the gameplay elements are telling me to relax and explore the world while the other half are telling me to hurry the f up.
