Having picked up this game on a whim, knowing very little about it, I was pleasantly surprised from what I played. I finished it in one sitting, (first game i've actually beat in 2021, actually!) and this game is magnificent. The game's gothic setting lends to an interesting world to traverse through, almost reminiscent of Bloodborne (especially Karst,) and the haunting tracks that play as the backing sounds help sell the atmosphere so much. However, a game isn't just a game through its backgrounds, setting, and music. So, how is the gameplay? It's really damn good. Setting up your trinkets and items to maximize your gameplay, hitting a bell to lock in the progress that you've made traversing the map, it's all so satisfying. The combat itself feels great too, and rolling through projectiles while using your main weapon feels amazing. The bosses are REALLY damn good too. The best one, Fennel is such a good fight. In fact, on my playthrough, to savor that fight, I unequipped all my items, and faced her head on. When I inevitably defeated her, it felt so satisfying. That's just how this game is, really damn satisfying. I implore anyone, who's a fan of platformers, to PLEAASE try this game.
