Happily got the platinum on this because I really just wanted to see everything the game had to offer.
Incredible platforming with fluid movement, and fantastic combat with far more options than I ever would have guessed (honestly, my expectation of metroidvania combat is a 3 hit sword slash and a couple of tricks). The game looks absolutely beautiful too, it's got such a strong visual identity I don't think I would ever forget it or even think to leave it out of discussions about game art.
My only real problems are more technical nitpicks than anything else. Despite the main gameplay being polished to hell and back, there are random bugs here and there that just take you out of the experience at random times. I had a good few crashes, and some side quests got bugged resulting in not being able to get a 100% save file. I'm sure those will be fixed in time though. Other than that, the story isn't the strongest. The characters are well designed and fun enough, but everything just feels a bit under-explored. Would love to see a DLC focusing on the other Immortals.
