An excellent Metroidvania that follows the golden formula of the genre while introducing a few fresh ideas of its own.

The world design, exploration, and progression are top-tier. The combat system is deep, featuring a complex combo system that you train with in-game. However, pulling off the full range of combos during real fights can be overly difficult and may feel impractical for many players.

The only major downside is post-launch: an update added an optional new area that’s extremely challenging, but it’s now required to obtain 100% achievements. This wasn’t the case before the update, making full completion harder than it originally was.

Still, highly recommended for any Metroidvania fan who enjoys polished design, satisfying exploration, and a good challenge.
