Excellent platformer with a great art style and engaging mechanics. Ekko was the perfect choice for a platformer with his acrobatic abilities and time manipulation powers. I also really appreciate the customizable difficulty options. Some players might find it too short but I think it doesn't need to be longer.

I'm not very invested in League of Legends lore, but I like Ekko and Zaun is the region I find most interesting. The story is nothing to write home about, but there were some enjoyable moments. Zaun is a joy to traverse with Ekko's excellent controls and arsenal of abilities. Collectibles reward exploration and platforming skill and I had a blast 100%ing the game.

My only gripe is the combat. It's fast and feels great, but there's simply too much of it. Even with the combat difficulty turned all the way down, each fight dragged on for several minutes. This game needed fewer mob encounters, or to make them much shorter. The combat is definitely at its best in the one-on-one boss fights, which I found to be among the best parts of the game. It just gets tedious when facing regular enemies, which you will do a lot.

Despite these minor issues, Convergence is a great platformer that I enjoyed enough to 100%, which I very rarely do in games.
