"Even if the story presented is a bit vague, Dandara does a great job at setting up the atmosphere of its world, with the help of a beautiful 2D pixel art style and a pleasant soundtrack, you find yourself wanting to explore more of this world. And, unfortunately, that's where its main problem lies - the map. Genuinely one of the most difficult maps to traverse in recent memory and with the occasional more difficult sections of the game (and lack of save points), it means you have to repeat entire areas pretty often. Thankfully, the gameplay is pretty solid, giving you unique ways to deal with enemies and traps with the core mechanics evolving throughout the game. Overall, a recommendation for fans of 2D platformers and metroidvanias or if it's in any of your game subscription (sadly, it's no longer in the PS Plus catalogue)."
