Worldless will probably either grab you immediately or repulse you immediately. The otherworldly, open-space aesthetic along with relaxing platforming mixes strangely with its intense combat system.

It starts simple, banal even; But it pushes the concept further and further. Unfortunately, the things that push it the best are off the beaten path. Could maybe be a bit less oblique on some things, but I do adore the 'visual' hints the game gives for its collectibles and puzzles.

Probably the main complaint from me is I wish there was a bit more... 'real' platforming, with hazards and whatnot. It's nice to relax along the ether, flying around in endless space in a way that's reminiscent of Ori and the Blind Forest, but sometimes it can feel like you're waiting for the next battle to happen to chew into the combat, where all the mechanical density is.

Either way, an unexpected but wonderful find.
