Honestly this game feels more like a Zelda dungeon crawler with some metroidvania elements than a full on metroidvania, but that's fine. Much, much improved combat from the first game, but still pretty underdeveloped in that respect. Blatantly ripping charms from Hollow Knight was an okay move, but I wish there were more buttons for skills. More interactive platforming than the first, too.

Story is... trying a bit too hard for what it is, I think, but it gets the point across.
