I’m actually blown away by this game. It came out of nowhere and while I thought it looked cool I didn’t expect a lot. I think the bayonetta games are fun and well made, but This game is very much my style. The games artistic direction is beautiful! It plays a lot like a meteoidvania puzzle action game. The game also has puzzle dungeons spread throughout the world which reminds me a lot of how shrines are handled in BOTW. The controls are really interesting in the way it uses the right stick for attacking rather than camera control which gives a very kinetic feel. If this game already sounded kind of out there then I’ll just add by saying that you can even play this game two player if you want.

Scathing critique on capitalism. There’s a lot you can say about this game in that regard, but I’m only going to focus on a part of it that hit close to home for me. In the game there’s a certain medication you need to pay for to stay alive. It’s $100 which in the beginning of the game is quite pricey and even as I got more money it still hurt my wallet a lot to have to pay for it. As an American there’s lot of us that literally have to pay to stay alive by paying high prices for life saving medication. One example is insulin which costs about a dollar to make a weeks worth, but costs thousands depending on insurance status. I could keep going, but I’ll just end it here by saying that’s absolute ghoul behavior
