Did New Game+ this replay, right after Plague of Shadows. Still excellently, tightly designed. New Game+ made me use relics far more as a survival measure and made me notice the game’s tight design and just how good it is. I’ve followed this game since 2014, and it feels like coming home. That said, less checkpoints and the way lower health and less recovery could get brutal. Especially in that boss rush. I loved it. Also played the Butt Butt mode it’s still fucking hilarious. Writing is sparse but it’s strong when you recognize how much it syncs with everything the subsequent routes do.
