As I play more Metroidvanias, I keep coming back to ESA as a benchmark. Most games in the genre fail to live up to it. This is a love letter to the genre's namesakes. This game was made by a dev who really gets it. It's a shame that it is so criminally ignored. I've explored so much and still never uncovered all the secrets, but I still think about what they could mean. I'm certain I will come back to this game someday, which is something I rarely do. The bosses are challenging. The movement is fun. There's a great story behind it all. There is so much packed into each pixel of this game. Highly recommended!
