Really fantastic Metroidvania!
The graphical presentation is top-notch, the environments are stunning, and it runs great. The quality of everything here is really high.
It also plays great! Combat is nice and crunchy, the platforming is very satisfying, and does a good job of layering more and more complex moves throughout the experience.
Exploration is the key to these types of game and The Lost Crown absolutely nails it. I particularly want to single out some of the really intelligent quality of life touches: automatically tagging one-way doors, viable paths, and letting the player take pictures of areas they might not have an ability for are great features that make navigating the world a breeze. I pretty much never got hopelessly lost. Honestly I wish every other Metroidvania had these features.
Had a great time with this one and it's a big recommend if you've ever enjoyed any kind of Metroidvania before.
