docked a whole star for how atrociously obtuse the map system is and the fact that like 20% of the game is hidden behind a secret passageway that looks identical to every other wall in the game. otherwise it's game of the century. "lmao mad because bad" i radianted every pantheon boss including absolute radiance and i also fucked both your parents.
but yea game is magical it just foozles the map and exploration feels 20% fun and 80% like a slog of backtracking which is like yea theres supposed to be backtracking in a metroidvania and it does a good job of making changes to familiar areas as you progress but when enemies can deal 2 damage in a giant explosion area it feels less wondrous and more obnoxious. hope silksong improves on that bc it's really the only thing i think needs improving; everything else is either fine or perfect
