The quintessential "baby's first Metroidvania" game, and the fact that it can manage to be that while also simultaneously providing a fantastic experience for veterans of the genre shouldn't be understated. It just feels so...light. The writing is funny, the tone is joyful, the controls are buttery smooth, the combat is fun, the platforming is wonderful and the music is great. I've played this game so many times and it's always a wonderful time.
