Initially, when I saw a few people really didn't like this game, I thought they were exaggerating, how the game's fighting mechanics weren't that great and the level design was kinda balls.

Nah, they were right. Nothing particularly bad about this game, but calling it a Metroidvania is an insult to the genre. It's extremely linear, the platforming is okay and the fighting mechanics were alright up until the later game where it starts throwing a bunch of bullshit at you. Also the final boss sucks. I'm not gonna give this bore-fest a proper review.
