A top tier Metroidvania that absolutely deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as more well known exemplars of the genre.
A rich and evocative experience whose philosophical-theological themes are viscerally embodied in every ability, enemy, and environment.
"Meta" without ever being clever, Grime takes the power progression wish fulfillment and choreographic pattern adaptation inherent to its genre as its mythopoetic subject matter, spinning these outward into an entire universe of sinew and stone, inanimate matter and vitalist breath, sculptural perfection and dysmorphic death drive.
If the "Soulsvania" format is in any way appealing to you, you owe it to yourself to play this.
