Review:
This game is truly something special. From its beautiful, hand-crafted art style to its entrancing soundtrack and atmospheric environments, it delivers an experience that is as immersive as it is challenging. The gameplay is top-notch, responsive, and deeply rewarding while the narrative is layered and complex, offering more to uncover the deeper you go.
I completed my first run in about 21 hours, and I know I’ve only scratched the surface. There are still countless secrets, side paths, and hidden challenges waiting to be discovered. That sense of ongoing discovery, paired with masterful design, cements this title as a serious Game of the Year contender.
That said, the game doesn’t hold your hand. At times it can feel frustrating, especially if you’re not ready to embrace the old-school mentality of “Git Gud.” But for those who enjoy skill-based progression and the satisfaction of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, this challenge is precisely what makes the experience so memorable.
Final Verdict: 10/10
I wholeheartedly applaud Team Cherry for releasing yet another masterpiece. I recommend this game for hardcore players who thrive on tough but fair challenges. However, if you’re looking for something more relaxed or laid-back, this might not be the game for you
