A classic, atmospheric, challenging metroidvania. Why didn't I pick this up sooner? I love how everything in the game feels almost optional as there are often multiple bosses or unexplored paths you can tackle at any given time, giving you a greater sense of discovery than a more linear style metroidvania - think Super Metroid vs. Metroid Dread! But is it optional? Only one way to find out! The map system is also unique; you can only start mapping an area once you find the map seller in that area, and your map doesn't update immediately; rather, it updates when you return to a save point, either by going there or by dying. Until you do so, you're just in unknown territory according to your map. Not sure if I like that but it is different!
