Afterimage is an okay Metroidvania that excels in its exploration and presentation with its beautiful hand drawn art style but is being held back by the pretty bad combat and confusingly told narrative. The normal enemies are essentially hit sponges with a limited move set, and the bosses are too reliant on teleporting all over the place to make them somewhat interesting. I've had fun with this exploring its regions, but I can't see myself ever touching this again.
