Game is great, very reminiscent of many great classic games like megaman, shovel knight, super metroid etc. The gameplay is fun, the platforming is crisp and the game has a really good difficulty curve; It felt challenging, but always fair and it never got too difficult. The map is huge with plenty of secrets and places to explore. it's a proper metroidvania map too, too many metroidvanias i've played use small cordoned off sections of the map laid out in a grid and don't feature the sort of interconnectedness and intracacy that makes exploring those maps fun. Highly recommend if you're at all interested in the metroidvania genre because this game has some real legs.
