Without spoilers (I'm on the fence whether I'll buy it and play it), are you able to articulate the reason you didn't like it very much, if at all?

I'm looking to get a more balanced idea of the game. I watched a streamer I follow play a little bit today, but not much. I'm not sure I got enough of a gist of the game to have an opinion on whether I want to play it.

I'm not usually a platformer kind of person, but I don't have anything against platformers.

Im not that guy, I only spent about 90 minutes on it so far. The jump physics feel weird, like its too vertical and not horizontal enough (theres probably upgrades that fix this later idk), and I have only identified one area i know I can't reach yet.

Usually with these games you can see a cracked wall and think "oh im coming back here when I get the bombs" or "I bet I can make that jump with a double jump later" but I've only seen one platform i cant get to yet. Maybe im not observant enough, maybe I havent been in the right rooms yet, or maybe its just too slow for me to feel the hooks.

Thank you for your candor.

The little bits I've seen of it are almost putting an emphasis on the platformer part of the game. Very vertical, jump from one small platform to another small platform.... So what you've said tracks.

I'm used to platformers being like... Super Mario world.
