This is one of the best games of 2019 for sure. And of of the best 2D action/platformers I've ever played.

If you are a fan of Dark Souls, just stop - buy now. You won't be disappointed. The main thing is the combat and the platforming. And it's tight. It's exactly what you want from a 2D Dark Souls experience.

The world-building is also completely on-point. It loops back on itself in a very similar way to Dark Souls 1. It's satisfying.

The pixel art is absolutely jaw-droppingly incredible. It holds up against the best the genre has ever seen.

I have two main complaints with the game. Firstly, the story and imagery is very very dark, even by Dark Souls standards. Some people will be turned off by this. That's not really the problem, the problem is moreso the story is just a bit too impenetrable. I've taken university-level English but I'm still somewhat at a loss figuring out what's going on. Maybe a second playthrough (Devs give us NG+!!!) would illuminate things but on first playthrough it's extremely hard to follow.

Secondly at some point support for high-frame rates was dropped. So its 60FPS capped. I really, really wish the devs can figure out a way to support high-frame rates again, so we can enjoy this masterpiece with no motion blur and reduced input lag.
