Like if Treasure and Hideki Kamiya made a PS1/Saturn-era metroidvania. Unbeatable 1990's floating island cloudpunk vibes, with absolutely spectacular movement and combat that rivals Ori 2. Narratively lighter than would have hoped, but your main sidekick is a great, tragic character. The bad: Truly abysmal/unhelpful map system, ridiculously spongey enemies, two (thankfully optional) infuriating minigames, momentum-killing forced arena encounters where more regularly-placed enemies would probably have been better (may be a me-problem), somewhat weightless finale. Otherwise very solid, would totally play another game by these folks.
