Our analysis

A standout Metroidvania with a gorgeous, hand-crafted world, excellent moment-to-moment platforming and combat, and a wealth of content far longer than most expect, packed with bosses, regions, and secrets within secrets. The hand-drawn map system that forces real spatial awareness and the flexible charm-based upgrades add depth, though the deliberate lack of guidance can feel daunting and stressful in unmapped regions. A rewarding, memorable adventure that sets a new standard for the genre.

Translated from German
I think, I think that this is a really, really great platformer with a fantastic and atmospherically oppressive world, which even in Deepnest cooly goes into horror.
