Wasn’t familiar with the source material, so I unfortunately didn’t really understand a lot of the context for the story until googling it afterwards.
Outside of that, it was a fun time. A VERY linear metroidvania, with a gorgeous pixel art style evocative of SOTN, and some fun boss battles. Not too challenging, not too long, a good weekend game.

Really solid pace for most of the game. I enjoyed the story a great deal, and the battle system was enjoyable, if a little too simple.
The final boss was way more frustrating than it should have been and left a bad taste in my mouth, but it doesn’t undo the importance of this game in the franchise and the quality of it outside of that.

I hate that I can't enjoy this game like so many others. The combat is meh, the story is just okay, side quests vary from pretty solid to pretty meh, and I honestly just didn't connect with the exploration. Not to mention I encountered a ton of bugs and it really frustrated me.
That said, I get it. It's huge, very expansive, and offers a lot. There was a period of probably 6 hours (out of my 24ish of gametime) where I was really hooked. Unfortunately, I made it about 75% through the main quests, having done one main questline (the companions), and I just don't want to keep going.
I will come back to this one day on the switch, with lower needs in terms of visuals and combat, and play as a magic stealth evil boy. Looking forward to that one day, hopefully I enjoy it more than I did this time.
