I did not expect to love this game as much as I do. I have played the entire 20 hours in the course of four days.

The exploration in this game is extremely enjoyable as running through every single crevice will get you some nice rewards. The combat while on the simpler side gets more fun with introduction of new weapons. The boss fights hit the ULTIMATE BALANCE between difficulty and fun. The story and characters I immediately fell in love with (especially the main two) I even talked to most of the NPCs around towns.

Another perfect balance this game masters is story/combat, I feel like neither part overstayed its welcome.

I almost forgot to mention how BEAUTIFUL this game’s art style is, with pixel art games I often find it difficult to distinguish objects you can interact with but they managed to make those stand out enough to notice but not to the point of them feeling out of place.

The game also has in game achievements which I appreciate on Nintendo games as the console does not have an achievement system as of now.
