Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
Its Metroidvania structure also gives progression a meaningful role, with new skills helping the player deal with increasingly demanding areas.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
Its dark fantasy presentation creates an oppressive and mysterious atmosphere that fits extremely well with the game's setting and narrative.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The audio design follows the same dark direction as the visuals and helps reinforce the feeling of exploring a hostile and mysterious environment.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is also tied into the movement rather than feeling completely disconnected from traversal.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects in general are quite satisfying, and while the music isn't the best around by any means, it fits the game well enough.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
Can recommend this game mainly if it's on discount as it's a bit short if you're good with a controller (~3 hours if speedy with a couple hundred deaths).
