    This game really opens up once you get past the demo's area and the first act. I really enjoy the mix of puzzle-solving and duels that make up the majority of the game, and they all feel fair. The minimap is also very helpful for tracking rooms you need to return to later, which is great once you get a means of fast travel.

    This is a beautiful game in every regard. The atmosphere, even though it is in pixel art, was actually quite immersive and and often breathtakingly beautiful. There is really no non-sense here either, and by that I mean the story is to-the-point, the combat is not overly complicated but still satisfying, and the are no fetch quests/NPCs to deal with. The only thing that is close are optional platforming puzzles that give you coins that unlock some alternate paths. There was a decent amount of backtracking but it never felt annoying and there was always a checkpoint near the boss battles. I will think back to this experience with fond memories and I am sure at some point down the road, I will play it again.

    Had a good time with it, but the controls definitely hold it back. You can remap the basic buttons, but all the actual abilities use fixed combos of those buttons, so you end up doing a bunch of awkward multi-press/hold inputs you can’t change. Fun game under it all — just super weird controls.

    I didn't 100% the game as I have other things to play on mind but what I played was still easily recommendable. Ato faces the typical metroidvania struggles where you can often get confused as to where you should progress, and the feeling of demotivation at the thought of back tracking to different areas where abilities now unlock new paths. The movement and platforming does alleviate a bit of the boredom from exploring these zones though and it does have a fast travel feature to skip long trips. More so, Ato heavily makes up for these periods of empty travel with quite engaging puzzles and extremely entertaining boss battles. Every boss battle I encountered in this game had a very unique feeling moveset which pushed me to explore different combat strategies will all of the movement abilities I picked up throughout the playthrough. It doesnt fall into the trap of having most bosses just be repeatedly dodge-through-attack-retaliate with a sprinkle of 'gimmick' bosses which have a very particular strategy to make it an easy win once you figure it out. Ato really feels like every boss should be beaten with your own personal playstyle. It borrows from hollow knight in the best ways possible, allowing you to pogo and dash over your opponent and just dance around them effortlessly, while also including mechanics for parrying. It's a very satisfying and responsive gameplay which will absolutely suit anybody who enjoyed the fights in hollow knight.
