This is an action platformer in the Metroid style
This is an action platformer in the Metroid style. As you explore areas you gain new abilities that allow access to previously unpassable ones. It plays as good as it looks - which, considering it looks phenomenally gorgeous, is no small feat..... The controls are responsive, and the platforming gets nicely tricky (though not too frustrating). It also has several really cool "escape" setpieces that are just right for being challenging, and making great use of your skills. You get the ability to slingshot yourself off of certain objects, which includes enemy projectiles, and these sequences make crazy use of that. Mixed up also with various jumping / gliding / wall jumping bits that make them very exciting to do. For a 2d platformer it really is quite thrilling when these setpieces kick off. It's an exceptional game mechanically, and hugely enjoyable - plus its also surprisingly hard on the highest difficulty, so represents a fairly big time to complete. There is a downside depending on your tastes - the story and music are pretty twee stuff, and the "voice acting" is just kiddyish gobbledygook. But other than that its a very engaging, artistically stunning game, and I highly recommend it.

Every now and then there's a game that changes the way you look at all types of games in the same genre
Every now and then there's a game that changes the way you look at all types of games in the same genre. Take Witcher 3 for example, good RPGs are now bad because we now know that is possible to do better, MUCH better. For many of you this game will fly under your radar, many of you might even ended up here by mistake. Whatever the reason i don't care just BUY this game. This is a masterpiece, this is the Witcher 3 of metroidvania 2D plataformers. The story is beyond good, is beautiful, it'll break your heart and make you smile, it wont bore you and it has enough to keep you engaged. The MUSIC? The music in this game has life, it tells a story in it self, without a word you can understand the world around you, it whispers in your ear, never yells, it tells you a secret for you to keep. The art style is stuff of dreams, the color palette is vybrant but also dull when it needs to be. The hand drawn vistas and landscapes are worth the games price, just so you can bathe in how good this games looks. The controls are just good, and they have to be, because this game is HARD, it rewards acuracy and quick reflexes, have you got those? I died 422 times on my first playthrough and let me tell you, i'd die 422 more just hoping this game would be bigger This IS the 2D plataformer to beat, this is more than a game is an EXPERIENCE EDIT: Replayed it with my best friend, still as good, still as heatwarming still as awesome
