First played on PC, replayed recently on Switch, this is still such a special little game! It was my introduction to Supergiant and if you have the option to make this the first game of theirs you play, I recommend it - it's such a good introduction to so many elements of their style. I will say this is maybe the ONLY Supergiant game I have a gameplay complaint about (how picking up new weapons automatically replaces one of your equipped weapons, sometimes removing your special move as well, and you don't always have the option to switch back), but I can attribute that to growing pains from a brand-new studio. I still recommend wholeheartedly!
