Outside of some wonky hitboxes, I find this to be near perfect. It's very linear and fairly dialogue heavy for a metroidvania, but that lends itself to a more engaging story and tightly paced experience.

The combat is the main draw here, with it definitely taking heavy inspiration from Sekiro, and it's great. The bosses in particular are all very well designed. You die quickly while fighting them, but once you figure out their pattern the encounters become beautiful dances that feel as if they're over in a flash.

The story and characters are all surprisingly great. I really enjoy the mesh of Taoism and sci-fi, it lends itself to a ton of great imagery. You'll be asking questions throughout the whole story, culminating in a phenomenal final boss fight and a great ending (assuming you go for the true one).

Presentation and soundtrack are also a plus here, game is beautiful and the music really elevates everything.
