I took a two month-ish long break from video games to read all of One Piece, and now I am back. What a great game to come back with.

A completely puzzle focused metroidvania with hardly any combat, puzzles and collectibles that feel satisfying, and a good sense of style, Animal Well is certainly with anyone’s time who likes the sound of those things.

I will say that traversal through puzzles or rooms you have already solved can be frustrating (partly for me because I am dumb and misunderstood a shortcut/warping mechanic.)

That’s my main complaint really. I didn’t feel like 100%ing it, like some other metroidvanias, but honestly I can’t put my finger on why. I feel like I should want to, whatever that means.
