Straightforward platformer levels were the strongest part but the switch to metroidvania stuff gets in the games way since it doesn't really have the normal/fun part of that kind of games progression. To be clear I still liked it and it does have some excellent sections in that part but the way the new structure messes with pacing while missing out on the best parts of metroidvanias like gaining abilities because you're given most in the first part makes me feel like that twist wasn't needed/well executed. Its what keeps this from crossing into Amazing territory rather then "just" very good for me.
