This is the action-adventure you’ve been waiting decades for. After a lab accident, a scientist awakens in a mysterious, alien world. Is this a distant planet? The far future? Or a complex virtual-reality computer simulation? Plumb the recesses of a large, labyrinthine world in order to learn its secrets and uncover your role within it. Discover tons of weapons, items, and abilities, each with their own unique behaviors and usage. You’ll need your wits to find them all. Combat bizarre biomechanoid constructs, the deadly fallout of an ancient war, and the demons of your own psyche. And finally, break the game itself by using glitches to corrupt foes and solve puzzles in the environment.

A great Metroidvania game. Fun to play and lots of hidden locations and items. Bosses are not difficult in normal mode. However if doing hard mode and low % items at the same time , the last three boss could be quite a challenge.
Normally I play platformer with joystick. This game taught me D-pad could be better. Double tap direction key is just something I cannot perform reliably with a stick.
Performs perfectly on deck. The game draw very little battery so could last very long time on deck.
Achievements are reasonable. I got all in three runs. First run about 25 hours in normal for 100% maps and items. Second run hard + low items % which is not recommended. It’s just unnecessarily difficult. Last one speed run normal within 2 hours.

Game is nuts. If you are a fan of classic metroid or fusion..BUY IT
Started off a little slow with making you worry you wont get caught up in the world. But after a few hours you wont put it down till its finished. Very fun good atmosphere and music. Unique in its own way. Really cool moments. Just a bit too short...

More Metroid than the original Metroid.

This has turned into quite possibly my favorite metroidvania. The story, the characters, the atmosphere and the weapons and tools are phenomenal. Extremely well done game, couldn't give it a high enough rating.

This is one of the few "Metroidvania" games that feels more like Metroid than Castlevania. If you're a fan of Metroid, especially the older games, than I'd highly recommend playing this at some point.

Recommended, with some caveats.
Graphics look pretty great, but the music grates (especially Kur underground; I dreaded having to return to that area). It's not bad, per se, just a bit too high energy considering you have to listen to it loop many many times as you hit every block in every area with every tool at your disposal.
Speaking of which, about 80% of the weapons you pick up will be used once at most, including one that you're forced to use to progress early on.
Despite these complaints, the story's really fun and engaging; I always felt myself getting pulled back in to try to find out what was being hidden from Trace. Unfortunately, that just made it even more frustrating during many times I had to feel around for clues that never came (including one especially-frustrating instance where the solution turned out to be simply returning to an area I had just been forcibly removed from by the story).
I'd say this game is worth a shot for people who like a good mystery in a game and want to experience it themselves rather than absorbing it through an LP. Otherwise it'll likely prove too frustrating.

One of my all-time favorite Metroidvanias. The powerups are often very unique, not the typical stuff you'd find in one of these games. But what really sold me less than 5 minutes in was the music. It's one of the only games I've played that genuinely feels.... *ALIEN*. And weird. The music does a great job of this, as does the general atmosphere of the game. This doesn't feel anything remotely resembling earth. Love this game.
