My friends said this was a step up from Shovel of Hope and Plague of Shadows but holy shit. A step up is an understatement. Sure the campaign is a lot easier than the others, but it makes up for it by having the sickest movement in a platformer to date. It's absolutely insane the shit that you can do in this game. Plus, every single level is completely redesigned from the ground up to accommodate Specter Knight, rather than running through the same game like Plague of Shadows. It's incredible and I think anyone that likes platformers should play this. Also NEW MUSIC!!!

I really wished this game was good. It looked cool, seemed like it had an enjoyable gameplay loop. I played it on release and it just had nothing going for it. Uninteresting story, boring enemy combat, and even lamer customization bogged this game down so heavily. I played it all the way to completion and still I felt so unfulfilled. Something a lot of people forget is that they announced later in like 2020 that they were going to massively overhaul Anthem and make it something worth playing… and then they canceled it, utterly dooming this game to failure. I really wish it was good, I really do.

My friend gifted me this game and I was like "Is this game worth the hype?" Yes. Yes, it is. This game is everything people said it out to be and then some. It's full of incredible level design and it seemed to be an enjoyable game for people around me to watch. I died, like, a lot. It was not an easy game, but beating the game felt very rewarding. I did not like a couple of parts, like some autoscrollers and one part of the Tinkerer Knight's stage, but those moments were few and far between. Overall, it was a very good experience.
