Dust: An Elysian Tail is a beautiful indie gem that flew under the radar for way too long. The hand-drawn art style is gorgeous, the combat is fast-paced and satisfying, and the story is surprisingly heartwarming. It can get repetitive in the later stages and the voice acting is a bit iffy at times, but honestly, this is a must-play for anyone who loves classic Metroidvania games and action RPGs with a charming twist.
A very fun platformer that I got on sale because it piqued my interest, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the animated cutscenes and charming artstyle that reminded me of those deviantart furry comics. The story is interesting enough to follow and I was really compelled to try and 100% it, but I never managed to get all the achievements before the frustration with the combo achievement got the better of me.
