Beautiful presentation with the amazong art style, art direction, and music that define all Supergiant games, but what really elevates this game for me is the uniqueness of the gameplay mechanics. Unlocking abilities, and then being able to slot them in as active abilities, modifiers for other active abilities, or as passive buffs, is such a fun system to play around with that I wish more games would take after. The combat itself is also a lot of fun with the ability to map out attack strings then see them execute in perfect precision, without it being automatic, being so much fun to see happen.

The music and atmosphere of the game draw you in, but the gameplay is what keeps you coming back. While the story is functional, it doesn't really stand-out much, but the rest of the package is crafted with such care that any shallowness in story or level design feels insignificant when taking the entirety of the package together. A beautiful game inside and out.
