Yeah, Ubi Montpellier can do no wrong bro. First they make Rayman Legends, one of the most amazing and polished 2D platformers of all time, and then they make one of the smoothest and most addictive Metroidvania's I've ever played. First off, the combat is just like. Oh my god. You don't just have like a repeated 3 hit combo, or a charge shot and projectile, no. They took what is basically a character action game moveset and put it in 2D. It is so addictive, and easily the best part. I was actively thinking "damn I want Sargon in a fighting game" because comboing enemies was just so fun. And on the few boss fights you could do it on, just ugh. Man it's so good. the style of the game is also great, somewhat gave spiderverse to me, in a very very loose manner. I liked it a lot, the splash screens when the bosses hit a critical attack were sick. The story was good, I liked it but it wasn't anything like spectacular. Same with the music. The traversal tools are also just great. They're pretty standard, but man everything just comes together to feel so smooth when you move. This game is so smooth. It's just so good. It's a shame it kinda went under the radar. Do yourself a favor and play it.
