    The music, atmosphere and your cute little character are just a few things that make this great. Feels like it has some Super Metroid elements to it with the vast exploring, fun upgrades and more. Classic side scrolling action Don't think, just do it.

    You have to discover the story bit by bit throughout the game but is a solid metroidvania with tight controls. In addition the developers have included several free DLC that increase the base game to provide even tougher challenges.

    This was actually i really cool game. I had read about how highly recommended it was, and I was afraid that I was going to expect too much from the game. Good news, it was actually better. Definitely worth the price.

    We love playing this game even though it tends to get difficult at times. Definitely surprised more people haven’t played it since it really is a great game. & unlike almost every other Switch game, it comes with a manual!

    Awesome and at times somewhat grindy game play. Fun factor is sure to please and the fulfillment of leveling up and customizing are definitely satisfying. Difficulty and learning curve are wonderfully balanced. All in all I'd say it's worth owning.

    This is a really interesting game. The first time I played I hate it I couldn’t understand why I was getting such great reviews. As is soon as it came out for the switch I had to get another try. I am really glad I did. You should too.

    Fantastic game! I seem to enjoy side-scrollers a lot more on my Switch, and being a physical copy collector, made buying this a no-brainer. This is such a beautiful game that was well crafted, a true masterpiece.

    This is a relatively graphically simplistic game. It does look incredibly clean and the black and grey tones are awesome! It is a challenging game but there are save points available. I am enjoying the challenge and continue to go back to this one.

    I downloaded this game and then bought it physically once available. This is so good I had to double dip. Fantastic atmosphere, good challenge and tight gameplay. It was a lot of fun to wander and get lost in the world.

    This Metroidvania style game is a must own game for those who are fans of the gameplay style. The difficulty is perfect and ramps up as you explore more and more. It never feels forced or unfair. Definitely a strong recommendation.

    Absolutely loved this game. Bought it digitally and then again once this physical release came out. Highly recommended. Just a warning though, the game can be difficult so just an FYI in case someone was gonna buy for a younger child.

    I own this game digitally already, but love it so much I wanted to own the physical version. Great game full of exploration and tough battles. One of the best metroidvanias out there.
