Convergence was a really enjoyable experience for me, even if it wasn't really a metroidvania like I initially thought.

Having played a fair share of League of Legends in the past, I thought it was really cool how every character from League had their abilities from the game "translated" into this one. Be it the main character Ekko, or Jinx, Warwick and Camille in their respective boss fights. Seeing these character interact in an actual story instead of the classic Summoner's Rift was also really cool for me. The story was nothing too crazy but it was enjoyable enough, especially if you already like the universe it's based on

Gameplay wise, I found the boss fights really fun, some were really challenging, even if a little frustrating at time with some section looking like a bullet hell. It can get especially frustrating when the boss has multiple phases and no checkpoints in between. Movement-wise, traversal feels really good and it gets better and better as you unlock new abilities for Ekko. The parkour challenges were refreshing in between fight sections.

The game also has a beautiful art style, nothing more to say on that, I just think it looks really nice.

Overall, I had a fun time with Convergence: A League of Legends Story.
