The good thing is that this absolutely feels like the closest thing to Metroid without being Metroid. I don't really like the paper doll thing, but this one actually manages to pull it off pretty well.

The bad thing is like...everything else. The enemies take forever to kill. The combat has interesting ideas that it does nothing with, or poorly implements. Movement isn't fun. The fast travel points are far away from anywhere you'd actually want to fast travel.

The ugly thing is that this should be like a 3 hour game but is riddled with such annoying decisions in order to pad the time out to around 8 hours.
