If someone says videogames aren't real art, prove them wrong with this masterpiece. Usually not my favourite kind of setting, but this game is absolutely gorgeous. Every screenshot is a potential wallpaper and every music piece emphasizes the atmosphere perfectly.

Gameplay-wise it's a solid Metroidvania with numerous well designed boss fights. The combat is mostly melee with ability to either heal or cast spells using soul, also you can equip charms - collectible items with different buffs for your character. It works well, although may get repetitive over time as the game is big.
The difficulty is pretty high, but isn't unfair, everything is consistently doable with enough practice. The most hardcore stuff is fun to grind and rewarding, but you can beat the game and get a good ending without it.

Fun gameplay, interesting story, stunning atmosphere and lots of content for a cheap price. No wonder the game is so successful, recommend it to everyone.
