Unsighted wears its most direct inspiration on its sleeve in the form of 2D Zeldas and, in my opinion, improves on them. It doesn't do so perfectly: there's some messy balance in that the game starts tough and then becomes sharply easier. There's some inessential stuff too, like the crafting system and cogs. But the dungeons are almost uniformly outstanding and so is the interconnected, layered map. The music and art keep things moving. And while the plot may be predictable, it is heartfelt.
