Played this with a friend via Steam Remote Play and it was pretty fun.

It's essential a Zeldalike and Metroidvania and I think it does it well. Exploration was fantastic, we got 100% for the Map, and fighting enemies wasn't awful.

It's storytelling is similar to BOTW and I think it did it every well. I liked the relationship between Raquel and Alma. It didn't feel forced or unearned, it was cool. We played with the timer on and it wasn't a bad experience. Sure some Automatons died but we...kinda killed some of them on purpose.

Mechanics were ok. Hookshot was pretty janky, chips were just another thing to spend money on, Stamina system was bad but that isn't surprising, Parrying was good, the way double jump worked sucked, Spinner was fun and it was nice how elemental weapons affected the environment.

I will say multiplayer is pretty rough in this game. The camera only follows player 1 even in boss battle. You even teleport near player 1 if they're too far a way which can cause you to take damage for no reason. The models looks way to similar, only the hair is different which caused my friend and I to keep getting confused with each other a lot. But aside from that it always ran smoothly.

All in all, a good Steam game for anyone looking for some.
