an extremely fun game that i'm mad i didn't play sooner. though i have some tiny nitpicks, like the open world aspect sometimes feeling tedious or the pre-boss segments seeming to get shorter and shorter, the absolute charm this game consistently exudes completely makes up for that. this is one of those games that i'd confidently recommend to anyone; it's just a good time from start to finish and you're missing out on something great by not playing it, like i had been for years

gotta come back to it tho for that secret boss i messed up...
