Its a lot of fun and then capra demon and then a lot more fun, holds up very well even if its latter half is a bit gimmickey

If I didn't already follow Neowiz it'd be hard to convince me this wasn't a FromSoft title, treat yourself to this game

Definitely has its share of questionable design aspects, but its still a fun and fulfilling time

Genuinely the best rhythm game (VSRG) experience on the market as of this moment

Game takes a well established series and tries to branch out and make a name for itself, was pretty revolutionary for its time, looking back its still a decent time but its not by any means a masterpiece
Completion experience is ass

As polarizing as the fanbase may seem at times this game really has been steadily improving over the years

The best in the subgenre by a landslide, with enough content to keep you content for well over 100 hours, DLC cant come sooner

After finishing my 5th playthrough for my final achievements I then booted the game up two more times to continue playing it, a masterclass in Metroidvania

Earlygame is a bit of a slog, but it does top out with some of the better areas and fights in the series, just doesnt have the same draw or appeal as its brothers around it
