Cons
Con Short
Way too short. But it's only 0.99$ so,. eh. It does have some replay value as least, if you want more achievements.
Con Non-combat focused
The game is more about puzzle solving and exploration than combat. Unlike traditional Zelda/Metroidvania games.
Con Boring combat system
The combat system is kinda boring and repetitive. It's just about mashing buttons.
Con Really short
I managed to finish the game with nearly everything unlocked and most secrets in a little over 5 hours, on my first playthrough. It's not a game that you can sink a lot of time into.
