Amazing game. The movement is really enjoyable, combat is meh enough, that I'm not sure if it would've been a major loss if the game was without it. Looks visually unique and quite nice with it's ps1 aesthetic. Music was fitting.

The movement is definitely the high point. For the most part it's so intuitive on how you can use your tech. And you learn really quick on what your capabilities are, can you take that jump, can you get there. The only finnicky part is the wall jump mechanic, couldn't get that to be as consistent as I would've liked.

The level design though. This is what made me rage quit. On the one hand the creative liberty to make the game so open is something fresh. But if you're going to gatekeep stuff behind tech, then you've got to have some clear way of telegraphing it. Going back and forth between places, because there might have been something you missed, isn't enjoyable. A map or some completion log or some pointer to the next location would've been all that was missing. Had to look up a walkthrough to even get that I was missing tech.

A really solid game. Just a me thing, as always. Games wasting my time is always a thing that grinds my gears. I don't think this would've been the only location where it would stump me. The search for the correct path isn't difficult, just repetitive and frustrating. This time the frustration won over the potential enjoyment of completing the game
