Islets is a neat indie metroidvania that needs more recognition. The main island has been shattered into 5 pieces and it is your quest to be the next hero to rebuild these islands into one. There are some quirky characters along with some mysteries of the land. As far a metroidvanias go, the story and lore is as good as it gets and quite like it.
The level design, although quite large and easy to get lost I found to be well made. Especailly how you can explore some older areas when you bind the worlds in progression.
The difficulty overall is fine, I died a few times in the main world but nothing was too challenging.
The problem I have would be that the world is a little too big and can be confusing on where to go. My main issue is the bosses seem to have too much health causing them to be 'bullet sponges'. The bosses mechanics and difficulty of the bosses is fine, just a few less hits would balance better.
The game took about 9 hours to go though and was a relaxing experience.
