While I felt that the ending to the story left more to be desired, I still think this game is one of the best Metroidvania games out there. While not super dense, the story was intriguing and had me invested the whole time, and the world design was well thought out and made for good gameplay, and the controls were tight.

Movement felt great, especially when I unlocked more of the options available, and the weapon types were also great to utilize. By the end, I felt all-powerful with nothing that could stop me. That said, Some of the puzzles were quite difficult, to the point of frustration. I also didn't like the backtracking due to no fast travel in the game. Finally, some of the weapons felt very niche and rarely got any use from me.

This game is still a great time and I think that any fan of 2D Metroidvania games will have a great time with this.
