I had little hesitation at the beginning as it felt very old-school but the moment you get out of the sewer it really opened up with the shapeshifting mechanic and I was hooked. This is one of the rare metroidvanias I 100% and I think that speaks for itself. Special mention for the soundtrack which is gorgeous and suits perfectly the vibrant world.
If I had something negative to say it's that the story is very basic and forgettable.
