The controls and the camerawork are a stroke of genius, though there are times when they don't get along with the otherwise enjoyable level design. Everything else seems kinda bland for now, and I partially blame the bad english translation for that, since it unintentionally robs the narrative of any seriousness, drama, heart, and sometimes even readability!

Metroidvanias haven't clicked with me yet but this one might do the trick. On a moment-to-moment scale, the elegant simplicity of the levels and the dope animations come together for a smooth experience where not a single movement feels wasted. Zooming out, the consumable system dissuades you from hoarding and makes each drop exciting. I look forward to playing the whole thing!

This must be what it felt like to play Doom when it first released.
