This game is very fun. I enjoy the combination of the action RPG and Metroidvania elements. The gameworld design is quite unique; rather than following a linear path from one objective to the next, you have the freedom to explore and create your own path toward the end. I enjoy replaying this game from time to time, so in my opinion this is a good value purchase as well. Highly recommended.
