One of the only games I've played, then went back and played it all over again (on the hardest difficulty getting 100%). Everything about this game is just pinnacle of game design. The structure of never cutting is awesome. The combat feels so good. The axe coming back into your hand is one of the best feeling things ever. Each realm is amazing. The story is perfect. The graphics are still some of the best I've seen. The valkyries are such a fun challenge that are so tough, but fun to over come. The metroidvania design is amazing, especially how the map and realms change over time. However, some enemy variety can be weak. In spite of this, one of the best games ever.
