A very fun and visually pleasing metroidvania with some good platforming and a little challenging combat . Start is slow but it gets better after a few bosses . Must give it a try it'll be worth your time .

It's genuinely sad that the top visible review for this game is negative. This game blows many of the commonly recommended metroivanias out the water It's clearly made with love from start to finish The art is absolutely gorgeous The focus on movement feels incredible It's tight, doesn't drag, and is fun from start to finish It's an absolutely impeccable game on the same standard as the likes of Ori 2. If you like movement/platforming focused metro's then this will be up your street. Criminally underrated game.

I don’t love this game, but I don’t hate it either. It sits in a weird middle ground for me... sometimes fun and enjoyable, other times just… strange and a bit annoying. This is very much a personal preference thing, because I can absolutely see why others would love it. Because of that, I'm still giving it a thumbs up, but I don't see myself finishing this game. PLATFORMING This is easily the strongest part of the game. Movement feels great, and you unlock a variety of abilities that let you dash, bounce, and maneuver through levels in satisfying ways. The boss fights are also well designed and do a good job of incorporating these mechanics, which makes them feel engaging and skill-based. COMBAT Combat is unique and leans heavily into aerial play. You’re encouraged to stay off the ground, juggling yourself in the air to build “heat” or “steam,” which then powers up your abilities. It’s a creative system and clearly well designed, but I’ve never been a fan of aerial combat, so it didn’t fully click with me. That said, it’s implemented well enough that I still find moments of enjoyment. CHARACTERS & STORY This is where the game really lost me. The tone leans heavily into a quirky, stylized vibe with quite a bit of very weird characters, sound effects, and dialogue. So strange, they don't feel like they fit the world very well. It's almost like 80% of them are just...there. The dialogue felt like filler or banter that didn’t add much for me. On top of that, the story is very vague. After about 7.7 hours, I still didn’t really understand what I'm working toward. This could also be me. I'm so uninterested in the story, I missed it. Who knows. Because of this, I found it hard to stay engaged for long stretches. I’d play for 20–30 minutes, then feel the need to take a break out of boredom. Some players will probably love the charm and style here, but I tend to prefer darker, more grounded themes, so this just wasn’t my thing. OVERALL I don’t think I’ll be finishing this one. There are just too many metroidvanias out there that better match what I enjoy. That said, I do understand the appeal. The art is genuinely beautiful, and the platforming is excellent. For me, though, the world design and tone felt a bit too odd... floating snowflakes with faces, giant drifting heads, random objects suspended in the air. It, honestly, reminds me of the strange NES titles that just threw odd enemies into levels regardless of it making any sort of sense. I also wasn’t a fan of the constant item clutter and coin-like pickups (game's currency) scattered everywhere. It added to the visual noise more than it added to the experience. BOTTOM LINE There’s a solid game here with great movement and strong platforming, but the tone, story, and combat style just didn’t click with me. If you enjoy quirky, stylized worlds and aerial-focused gameplay, you may have a much better time than I did.

This is my first game like this that i've ever played. I usually don't play many video games. But I thought Bo was so cute! I found that becoming better at the platforming challenges in Bo is actually very fun and rewarding. I haven't gotten very far yet even though i've been playing alot and i feel like there is always a clear goal and something to do and that I am actually a part of the world. I wish the developers keep coming out with more games like this in the future.

Overall, an enjoyable experience that is somewhat marred by relatively minor frustrations along the way. Movement is incredibly fluid and a joy to weave around with, combat is fairly expressive if not a little too cycle-oriented at times. Main story feels a little on the short side, and there are times throughout where the game's potential outweighs what it ultimately delivers. Stunning art, great soundtrack and some decent post-game objectives to keep diving back into. Worth checking out.
