Quite solid platformer with surprisingly deep combat and some very nice level design. Lots of skills to unlock via a fairly robust skill tree, which makes fighting with Flynn's multiple weapons a lot more exciting.
Some stages have multiple exits a la 2D Mario or Kirby games, and there's a pretty nice diversity amongst locales. Background art is gorgeous and the soundtrack, while lean, does its job of setting the tone of each location well. Switch version has some audio bugs from time to time but I don't think it's anything too distracting.
All that said I think there's definitely sort of this lack of punctuation throughout the game - while the concepts are all strong and it looks, sounds, and plays great, there weren't really any absolute gamechanger moments that blew me away. Still, I had a lot of fun with it and it didn't overstay its welcome. Definitely would recommend sticking this on your backlog for a nice weekend game or a side game while you work your way through something meatier.
