Lost Crown is a great Metroidvania that takes a lot of elements from Metroid Dread and the entire Souls series and combines them into a really great experience. The combat was pretty fun but it kind of got repetitive towards the end, especially for the bosses which all play it similarly. My favorite part of the game was the movement, they give you so different traversal powers throughout the game that it's super satisfying to chain them together, especially in the tight trap rooms. The world design and themes themselves is great, exploring an area frozen in time is such an incredible idea for a world and they use this concept in such interesting ways. The only other area to note is the game is a bit janky, wuth some moves feeling kind of unfair and a good bit of technical issues, wasn't a huge deal but was frustrating when they came up. Overall, Lost Crown is a great game that any fan of Soulslikes or Metroidvanias should check out.
