Played for about an hour. I'll start with what I liked. The rumble with the DualSense is great, I'm super impressed by the art and how this game was made by the ground up with it's own engine. The items are interesting and give some depth to traversal. Now onto what I don't like. The game is dull. I never looked forward to what the next room could be and sometimes even dreaded what could be coming next with how frustrating some of the rooms are. Once I closed the game I felt no desire to play this anymore. The world itself is beautiful but there is nothing that encourages me to explore it. 25 bucks is a lot for this experience. There's plenty of cheaper, more engaging and interesting "metroidvanias" out there.

This game is full of disingenuous reviews from Dunkey's fans. You can't have a real discussion about this game without terrible jokes from his video about the game. I keep seeing people refer to this as Dunkey's game, both individuals and large journalist companies. Dunkey did noting but throw money at this game. Please check out the actual dev
