So here's the problem. When this game came out in 2015 - it was a fine metroidvania. But we've gotten better ones. Playing this is kinda like playing something thats between the OG Metroid and Super Metroid. The upgrades are exactly what you think they are going to be. The rhythm is exactly what you think itll be. The problem is the combat is subpar. It's clunky and shooting doesn't match with what you actually want to do. Overall this game is what it was - just fine.
