One of the better non-Fromsoft soulslikes. Beautiful artstyle, great soundtrack and solid combat. The shell system, style and platforming makes it different enough from traditional souls to deserve a playthrough.

I'd highly advice to never turn on any accesibility setting to get the full experience as intended. It's worth it. It's the easiest souls I've played, which is not a bad thing.

It's not perfect tho. Sometimes hitboxes are goofy and the electric hammer enemy was dogshit. I was going to give it a 9 but there was a section so terrible in The Fathoms (the one with the guardians from Breath of the Wild) it made me remove a point, so 8 it is. Finally, there's an annoying amount of surfaces where it looks like you can stand on but end up sliding off the map. Really frustrating for what's essentially a 3D platformer.

Still, the good outweighs the bad, I think its a great game and hope Aggro Crab makes a sequel where they polish up the systems and mechanics, it could be really amazing.
