I was not expecting such an heartfelt and emotional story from an 2D platformer.

I really cannot put it to words how beautiful this game looks. The pixelart is just drop-dead gorgeous and the way it interacts with the lighting at times is just mindblowing. The sound and music are no slouch either and work great with the visuals.

Weirdly enough the gameplay might be the weakest link. This does not mean its bad, not even close to that as it is very solid with lots of different gameplay gimmicks and set-pieces introduced along the adventure to keep it fresh. But at times I did feel like I just wanted to get to the next story bit instead of grappling around the city.
