A beautifully drawn game world, with intrigue and mystique. This is a game similar to Super Metroid, Castlevania Symphony of the Night or even Shadow Complex. Except in this game, you're underwater, and have the free range of movement (in 2 dimensions) of moving in any direction. This brings some interesting combat elements into play, but the power progression doesn't let you get too confused.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore a truly beautiful looking place, and get some cathartic butt kicking in too. Very interesting sections, and quite a few secrets you can miss if you're not careful. A fine, fine indie title.

I bought it from the dev, bought it on Steam, bought it in a Humble Indie Bundle, and it's coming ti iOS soon, and I'll buy it there too. Won't you at least get it here. There's Steam Achievements? But seriously, it's a lot of fun if you like Metroid-vanias. I highly recommend it.

It's free. It's from Valve. Why are you reading this recommendation? Go get it, now!

Holy smooth frame rate Batman. I've seen 60FPS in games before, but something about this game is so clean and beautiful, in spite of the sometimes less than stellar textures the game manages to look impressive.

I believe Carmack and Co. wanted 60FPS due to the racing element in this game more than anything else, but even during combat it's just so buttery smooth you can't help but almost feel like you're playing a 2D sprite-based game again. That's how smooth this is.

Gorgeous for what it does, impressive for it's technical feats, and a long time coming. Worth the full price of admission? Probably not, but easily worth $40. If it's ever under that price, get it, immediately.
