BANGER SOUNDTRACK, OH MY GOD!!! What a god damn jam.

Oh and the game itself is nice too xD
I loved the movement and the crisp pixel graphics. The Messenger also features stellar writing that actually made me care about dialogue boxes in a 2D platformer - how crazy is that?! I really enjoyed the first traditional platformer half of the game, but the linear nature of most of the game's areas are also a reason as to why I am a bit split on the Metroidvania part of the Messenger. Long linear paths just don't synergise well with an open Metroidvania progression. That's why I feel like there should be more quicktravel portals, as it got pretty annoying by the end to go through the same linear paths over and over again.
