“I can't in good faith give this game a negative review (it's still a good game and a good time), but I think it's a major step down from its predecessor.

“Wow, this wonderful Metroidvania was created entirely by a single person. What an incredible achievement. The art style is truly impressive, the soundtrack is perfect, and the difficulty is challenging in many places but always fair.

“Feels very similar to the first game despite being quite different; the most notable change being your whip, which is a central mechanic. It was a peculiar choice to go with lower-fi graphics to the first game, but the amount of detail in…”Recommended · Steam review · Nov 2025 · 17 h played · Report / request removal
