This game shocked me with its quality. I didn’t do any research besides knowing that it’s received well. Now I understand WHY after collecting everything except for one thing and getting both endings. This is a good mix of Metroidvania exploration, finding items to advance further and resource management. It also fits with the setting of deep underwater diving and exploring the unknown. This is a prime example of being a Capcom game in the sense that it’s unique in a good way, the world is created successfully, the gameplay is original and it works. This is the kind of game that certain audience can REALLY love but the rest might not get it. The only reason I’m not giving a higher score is because of the performance on an iPad Pro 2020. The resolution (or textures?) don’t look native and there are some minor frame rate drops. It feels like the kind of game that’s begged to be played on a stronger hardware. Lastly, the controls are not fluid. Some might not like it but it does fit with the water movement and the way you’re supposed to use the equipment you have.

Definitely give this game a shot if you’re one of those who enjoy these kind of special games with a certain touch. We used to get a lot of them in the past. You know who you are ;)

Ps. You’re not required to do anything extra for the other ending. Just redoing the last fight in a certain way. It took me over 13 hours to get almost everything. In terms of achievements, I’m at around 85% with the ones missed dying a certain way or killing enemies with different weapons.
