Pros
Pro Tight and fluid movement
Every movement in the game makes you feel like you are in control.
Pro Rewarding exploration
The game world is enormous, with a massive amount of secret areas that really reward you for sniffing them out.
Pro Has character
The visuals, music and sound effects are both quirky and charming. You may stay for the gameplay, but you come in for the lovable world.
Pro Fun, challenging boss fights
With a couple exceptions, the boss fights are challenging in a way that does not feel cheap. If you die, it is because you screwed up and not because the game didn't feel like keeping you alive anymore.
Pro Mysterious story/lore
Makes you wanna explore more to find out whats going on and you may find secrets with NPCs that will tell you more or add to the mystery. This keeps things interesting.
Pro Forces you to learn attack patterns
You won't get far just going in swinging. Learning enemy behavior is much more important than in any other Metroidvania and that feels very rewarding.
Pro Custom loadouts (Charms)
Through the charm system, you'll unlock upgrades to your melee, summon helpful allies, bolster abilities, harden defense, alter movement, or unleash stinky brown gas on your foes.
Cons
Con Steep learning curve for newbies
I was almost discouraged from playing, due to hard bosses. Then i learned to slow myself down, prioritize dodging over attacking, and eventually learned boss attacks and felt great after finally beating them.
Con Map system
To get a map, you must find an NPC first for each area you visit. Map updates whenever you find a bench. You also get sent to your last-visited bench when you die. It does not update in real-time, but the map will update with wherever you have been when you find a bench. This is all assuming you have bought the base map from the NPC in that particular area.
