having played hyper light drifter i definitely expected just as much subtlety in delivering an open ended story with gameplay that is so stressful in a good way it really reflects on how desperate you are to get a cure for whatever is killing you. this one isn't subtle, in fact you can figure out most of what's happening pretty quickly, and i guess the inclusion of voice acting can be to blame. i was a little sad that it isn't really a CHALLENGE, but i cant deny that despite that it was very funa nd satisfying to breeze through the bosses. and i cant deny that the artstyle in one of the most inspiring to me ive seen in a while. i just love heart machine's work!

i definitely wanted more than what i got, but what i got wasn't so bad so im not too mad about it
