it is fun to play a metroidvania where you can get overpowered to the point of trivializing content by engaging with its crafting and collection systems
Great game!! Much better than Curse of the Moon games in my opinion. I still didn't like certain aspects, but it was more personal preferance. Music was amazing, especially at the start. Art is probably the best part, and story with characters is very nice. Only actual criticism I have is that I felt like the bosses were not really as good as I wished they were. Both because I feel some attacks are a bit overtuned, coming out too fast for how Miriam is moving (maybe a skill issue tho), and also they felt a bit...anticlimactic? Most at least. That aside, really loved it! And different modes also add so much replayability. There are also Classic modes, but...Yeah, I am not a fan, same as it was in Cotm. All in all tho, great game, can recommend!!
Requires Epic Online Services to play when game was started up. Did not say on store page. Can't refund because it was in the backlog.
