i cant think of another game that feels the same way as animal well. thick atmosphere, gorgeous environments, and supremely satisfying puzzles, exploration, and items make up an extremely tight and well designed metroidvania that begs you to explore every inch of the map.

teeming with secrets, eerie creatures, and haunting ambiance, animal well had me engaged for its full runtime and past that hunting for little secrets and trying every tool and technique i could to find that next area of collectible. playing on ps5 as well, i love the use of haptics, and the light bar changing with each item as well as being able to scroll the map and fiddle with the environment on the touch pad.

go and explore this beautiful and thought provoking world yourself, and experience the genius design and surprises that await !
