For a game with so much hype behind it, I felt like it was going to be easy to disappoint. However, this game alone made me feel better about boss battles from all the previous games that disappointed me!
While the run and gun levels are OK, I'd say the game really shines with it's boss battles, and it knows it.
The game is of course incredible to look at, the style is consistent and really well done, the mechanics felt smooth and super fun to move around with, and the music/sound in general really matched the vibe of the game and never got sickening to listen to when playing the same level 100 times over!
My main gripe with the game was the one or two lag spikes that happened over the course of the gameplay. I expect this is something to do with the Switch, but was still unwelcome nonetheless in a game where every micromovement matters.
I'd put this game up there with Celeste in terms of difficulty and how good it felt to beat.
Taking a break before playing the DLC because it has me feeling burnt out, but if anything I'm just excited to get back to it whenever I do!
