Probably gonna be my GOTY for 2023. The best feeling game I've ever played. Movement is just phenomenal. Grappling hook + boost + rocket jumping allows for some insanely creative platforming and skips. The music is pretty solid, the visuals do a lot for me, and by Jove do I love mythology and folktales. This game hits so many checkboxes for me that it would be a 5/5 if it weren't for the wind area and Elfame being so absurdly annoying to do platforming in. It's such a shame the game has those areas because I cannot overstate how much fun I was having throughout the entire rest of the game. The boss fights are crazy fun, the moment-to-moment combat can mostly be skipped and the parts that can't usually have some fun little platforming gimmick to go along with it.
