Phenomenal metroidvania for the first two thirds. Loses a lot of the magic and excitement for the cleanup because it’s a bit bloated. But the Persian cultural contribution is next level: must play in Farsi. Oh I’ll bump it up a notch because the combat was legitimately excellent, even if it underutilizes the object displacement power. Nowhere near as good as Hollow Knight, but this is an insanely wondrous gift from Ubisoft on high. And I hope they keep doing this kind of AA game.
