Disclaimer, kickstarter backer + in the game an extra time for winning a speedrun competition.
An imperfect but all around fantastic metroidvania that very blatantly uses mechanics and ideas from games such as Hollow Knight, Nier Automata, Axiom Verge etc to very good effect. It's a hard game, and very much not for people who haven't already played a fair amount of similar titles, but I still have greatly enjoyed my time with it and will enjoy speedrunning it more in the future. I hope the dev learns from this release and makes more games, and hopefully either removes story aspects entirley or greatly improves on them. Or maybe just get someone else. Seriously, the story in this game is not worth your time.

I'd like to make a longer form video review on this at some point in the future, but figure I'll just leave this here for now.
