pros: the art. cinematics look great and the backgrounds are solid
cons:
every single time you open the game or quit to main menu the obnoxious intro cinematic plays (why?? wasn't one time enough?)
the soundmixing is аss and volume settings are nonexistent in this game so you can't even attempt to fix that yourself
platforming is abysmal (and this is a platformer ffs). movement is very weird and hard to get used to with some strange delays. ropes are inconsistent and annoying to deal with
good luck trying to hit enemies while not bumping into them because your attack hitbox is so small you have to allign yourself perfectly to even do any damage
verdict: very hard to enjoy because of all the annoying little things. there are way better platformers/metroidvanias out there

By far the best shantae game. It's a true metroidvania, great designs, amazing animations, ear-candy music, great voice acting, fun puzzles and bosses that are unique from before (besides risky). 12/10

fun game
