Aesthetically speaking, its pretty solid, but VERY dated at times, especially with all the "LOOK VIDEOGAME REFERENCE HAHAHA SO COOL VIDEOGAME I LOVE IT" easter eggs, but outside of that, its a fine looking game with a likeable artstyle Gameplay wise, its a pretty sold beat em up, but it can get repetitive at times, even with the combat upgrades and movement options, I wouldn't say its bad, but it can get a bit boring. Story wise, its eh. Nothing special, some dated references, but nothing offensive, and sometimes even a little funny. Metrodvania wise, it's fine. Nothing too big, nothing too elaborate, and suprisingly easy to get into , even on hard more. Overall, a solid 6/10, maybe a 7, but not a 5. Good for beginners, but if you want more challenging games in this genre, there are plenty others.
A classic of the genre and a must-play for every Metroidvania fan. Great combat, a well-designed world, beautiful art style, funny dialogue, and an interesting story. On top of that, there are tons of secrets and easter eggs to find. Highly recommended. It’s best to play [i]Super Turbo Championship Edition[/i] right away since it’s basically the same game as [i]Gold Edition[/i] but with extra content.
just beat the game after many years still a 10/10 a must play with friends (even when 100%ing the game)
