Review By: SquirlRuler
Posted: 7/25/2024

I have mixed feelings about this game. It got recommended to me and I was pretty excited to play. And the first 75% or so of the main story was really good. I enjoyed the writing and the music was really good. There is also a character that is outside space and time, and so when you pause the game, he still does his animations like he isn't paused. That was a really cool little detail. After that though, it felt like it was overstaying it's welcome. I felt the controls were a little jank too. One thing that was frustrating was sometimes I would need to jump near a hanging wall and need to NOT grab it. But I would grab it from like a mile away. Then other times I WOULD need to grab it, and I would slide down the wall not grabbing it lol. Then the DLC, just needlessly frustrating. Including a point of no return which I didn't realize, so I missed a collectible and had to go all the way back through the level to collect it. There should not be any point of no returns in this type of game -.-. So yea. Lots of good stuff. Some super annoying things.
