A hyper solid experience that was fun to blast through. As a newcomer I was super worried about the speedrunning aspect combined with the infamous backtracking. And while i failed the speedrun component, as 100% is much different unlike the others, the backtracking was super seamless. The game does a great job of hiding the games linear fashion while making you feel good for exploring.

The combat is crazy hard but there are so many ways to interact with enemies its super fun. The Melee counter is always satisfying to pull off and the upgrades eventually make you feel insanely strong that you start dancing on Emmis.

The Emmis were the weakest part imo. Stealth sometimes just didnt work and sometimes i just had to take the L and pray I timed the counter correctly.

Also Im really bad a shinesparks please help.
