System: Windows PC
Rating: 74/100
Playtime: ~4 Hours
Initially drawn to Strayed Lights by the aesthetic, I'm glad to say that that held up throughout. The boss fights are also the standouts here, all of them unique with their own formulas, even including some perspective shifts. Unfortunately, the rest of the game felt shallow and didn't have much more to offer. The combat system was fun, but barebones, not evolving at all throughout the game. The enemy selection was also pretty limited. Eventually I got tired of seeing the same enemy and just ran passed to get to the next boss. The game is pretty short, which may have helped it not get too repetitive. For $25 it's a tough recommendation, but on sale or part of a bundle I'd definitely recommend it if the screenshots look interesting to you.
