Hey....they do always run. Enjoying this game a lot. Somehow feel like they missed a good Metroidvania spin here. Just wonderful would inconnected map have been on this game. Some times I feel I want to return to a certain spot and search for hidden stuff.

6/10 - Good recommendation Game starts off quite clunky but picks up better the more upgrades you get unlocking smoother movement and combat. Story wise is relatively simple and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Mueller 2nd fight is god awful - You have to lock in like a Dark Souls boss! Smiley was a bit annoying too but at least more fun! The truth reveal at the end... wow!

Absolutely fantastic game. Inspiring art, wonderful animation and a nice, linear progression that is carried by a story that picks up a lot of steam by the end. The platforming is overall very good with a nice flow state when you get used to it and the combat is satisfying and punchy. It ends on a cliffhanger and with a unexpected twist that hit some feels for me. Looking forward to a sequel for sure. And yeah the soundtrack is great.
