Overall a really solid time with a compelling narrative and gameplay that stays interesting throughout the short but sweet campaign. It's vaguely Metroidvania adjacent but I wouldn't go in expecting one, since it is more focused on having linear levels in each local than building up a particularly cohesive world to comb through. The bosses were also bombastic and engaging, minus the one stealth boss with some annoying mechanics to trial and error through.

On top of that this game is an absolute aesthetic marvel, the pixel art is obscenely impressive. The soundtrack also goes for this very distinct vibe, very upbeat but still atmospheric. A bunch of songs use metal clangs as well, which may be pretty on the nose with the machinery theme, leads to some uniquely memorable songs like the boss theme. Great stuff all around on both looks and gameplay.

I still don't get why they made the running joke that Mina smells like a Smash fan though, it doesn't come off that weird but still
