I was surprised at this one! I only really started it because my friend who hated it said I should play it as a joke before the new steam share policies come into effect and we can't steam share anymore. I can see why he stopped, the first impression isn't great. Some lame "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!" gamer type references/humor that aren't great and graphically I don't love how it looks. It didn't end up bothering me as much by the end, although some of the lighting especially in regards to the gems was very overwhelming and hard to look at. Once you start getting upgrades and into the puzzles this game really starts to make sense and is very fun! It's full of pretty interesting and unique mechanics with tons of satisfying and fun puzzles! Exploration is pretty fun, although I felt like some areas were a bit too big and open. The secrets and such felt fun to get to but the rewards are a bit underwhelming. It's obviously helpful in the grand scheme of the game but it's so many little number growths like 5% critical damage chance increase things that in the moment don't feel that great to get to me. I don't super mind because the puzzle/exploration to get there is usually worth it but I just kinda started barely even reading my rewards. Combat was kinda nothing, I don't think the game would have lost anything by dropping it. It almost feels like it was added so the secret rewards would have a purpose but because combat is so uninteresting it also contributes to that feeling I just mentioned where the rewards for secrets and exploration didn't feel all that exciting. The final boss not being combat and just being a big puzzle was a nice surprising, and it was pretty cool!

I don't feel much of an urge to go back and work towards 100% or play the other Supraland games (maybe way down the line or something) but I was pleasantly surprised with this one! Unique and fun puzzle game!
