waitttt this kinda ate.....bashing projectiles was a really satisfying form of aerial movement, being able to save anywhere let you tailor your own difficulty settings (respawning is instant which is great) and the art style was really pretty! Combat was the only thing that was kinda underwhelming, and there were some occasional level design annoyances but otherwise it was a really great metroidvania platformer! I got the collection for really cheap on black friday and I hear the sequel improves on every aspect of this game! very excited to play the next one!
