Excellent game, but it's silly seeing people calling it a Metroidvania when there's so little mandatory ability gating (none for the base ending). Even Enrique Cabeza has said it isn't one.
i love the pixel art so much but I've attempted to play it twice and I can't get into it. i think its cause the movement and combat feels so limiting in the worst ways. is the second game better? should I pick that one up?
man i just really wish i likes this, probably the game i feel this way the strongest
but it just feels so directionless, it's a subpar metroidvania and a subpar soulslike. at least the artstyle is gorgeous, to the point it almost tricks me into liking this game.
feels like a straight plagiarism of dark souls, which can probably be said about 90% of skill-based games nowadays, but its not just in gameplay here. the dialogue, setting, and themes feel just like it too
