After 2 unsuccessful tries to get into this game I finally gave it a full honest shot and I'm so glad I did. This game while very short and a little too easy is easily one of the better metroidvanias out there. The art style, soundtrack and gameplay are all top notch. I felt iffy about the movement and abilities early on since they all felt a little sluggish and floaty but as the game went on and I became more and more equipped I really appreciated them. The story despite some issues is simple and charming and fit the world they created and was paced well. I appreciate this game not really having any bosses instead ending each big area with a long escape sequence. I'm personally a huge fan of the final escape.

My only real issues were difficulty and exploration. I always love picking through metroidvanias for secrets and becoming overpowered and this was no exception but I did feel that the game kind of gave away its secrets too quickly and discouraged exploration since you'll quickly get an ability that just shows you where everything is. I also with the game was a tad longer but I guess I can just play the sequel since I want more.

Another metroidvania finished during the infinite wait for Silksong
