Absolutely terrific metroidvania! I‘m usually impatient when i get stuck in these type of games and start looking up a guide. This only happened once here towards the very end, which shows how well designed the game is. Very minimalistic design but incredibly effective at the same time. Bravo!

Great first half with fun gameplay loop and momentum building thanks to continuous addition of smart mechanics. Second half becomes a bit repetitive and convoluted. Puzzle/stealth sections felt very tedious slow. Story mostly uninteresting. Would have preferred if the Sushi restaurant was a bigger part of the game.

Good game but i think i‘m done with sports games in general. Online matches are where the long term motivation should be, but for me the min/max of stats is just not fun anymore in the age of everyone just googling the best set up. I rather do the real thing.
