Nothing about this game is really that groundbreaking, but a well-made Metroidvania is always a thing of beauty.

The platforming and puzzles are the highlight. The combat works well, but all of the potential upgrades can throw the balance out of whack (a problem as old as Symphony of the Night). The boss battles are still a lot of fun, especially because the animators are on the top of their game.

The story had a lot of promise at first, but didn't really deliver on that promise (the English voice acting doesn't do it any service). On launch, there are quite a few little bugs (UI issues and repeating cutscenes), but fortunately nothing that affected the tight platforming.
