literally everything about this game is good besides the level progression, and it's such a big problem that it almost ruins everything else. the levels themselves are fine but the way they're strung together isn't. they're interconnected but not in ways that are helpful, also the map is such a mess, idk how to describe it bc i dont even know how to read it, you start in A-1 and then get to A-2 until you're in B-1 so you're like oh they are connected alphabetically but then you're suddenly in F-1 from B-3 and it doesn't connect in any way to E-anything or G-anything and the map tells you that if you go left from B-2 you get to C-1 but really if you go left you STAY in B-2 and if you go RIGHT you reach C-1 so seriously just look at a complete map online and a walkthrough so you don't have to figure this shit out yourself and then the game becomes good because you get to play it like a regular mega man game. i'm not against a mega man metroidvania (i'd actually love to see another attempt) but this is possibly the worst attempt at metroidvania map design i've ever seen in my life. but also you can basically play as the guardians from the zero games and playing as harpuia is fucking sick
