This really is a quintessential indie game and it still holds up really well today. The action platforming is really fun, with a good variety of weapons and enemies that keep things fresh, but really the story here is a large part of the appeal. It’s a lot more interesting than I remember it being, granted I hadn’t played this game in easily 10 years if not longer so it was totally gone from my memory. The characters and world building are quite good for this genre and it’s a creative concept I really enjoyed. I need to shout the music out also, it’s really great chiptune work with tons of catchy songs that really helps bring the game together.

The grandpa of the current indie revolution, this is a darling of a game. I can't quite see what people define as a metroidvania in this one, which is not a demerit in the slightest. I just wouldn't put that in this genre, that's all.
Regardless of that, I really liked the game. Solid gun variety, nice XP system that allows you to be more risky the more you trust yourself. The platforming is nice, although Quote's jump takes some getting used to.
The story, probably due to my depleted af mental state, didn't hit me as hard as it did most people, and I could only appreciate it from afar.
Will one day replay it for the true ending, because I didn't have a backup save.
