Simply beautiful from start to finish. I loved the first game and while it took me a while to finish this one, I am so grateful to have experienced this story. This game is breathtaking to look at, and the cutscenes made me feel the same magic an early Disney movie would give me. The gameplay feels top-notch and only added to the experience that the first game gave me. There was a good amount of challenge that came from the game which left me on my toes while also being fair. I was fully immersed during the final stretch and while I am mixed on my feelings on the ending, I believe that that was intended. It was a bittersweet yet beautiful ending that left me in awe. An amazing game that I would recommend to anyone who loves metroidvanias.
