The grandpa of the current indie revolution, this is a darling of a game. I can't quite see what people define as a metroidvania in this one, which is not a demerit in the slightest. I just wouldn't put that in this genre, that's all.
Regardless of that, I really liked the game. Solid gun variety, nice XP system that allows you to be more risky the more you trust yourself. The platforming is nice, although Quote's jump takes some getting used to.
The story, probably due to my depleted af mental state, didn't hit me as hard as it did most people, and I could only appreciate it from afar.
Will one day replay it for the true ending, because I didn't have a backup save.
