Never really succeeds at being more than just okay. It's not exactly a bad game, it was just consistently underwhelming in every aspect. The genre is so well-trodden at this point that I kind of expect more from a metroidvania in 2022. The level design is definitely the low point, but most of the abilities are kinda bland as well. Combining smaller maps into one bigger map and unlocking new paths is a great idea, I just wish the game surrounding it was a bit less lackluster. It's also extremely easy, which isn't necessarily a downside... it's just that I played the game on hard mode and it was still easy.
