Gameplay is Innovative and Creative
Brain gets Overheated
Thumb is Up

Indie gem I didn't expect to like so much.
Highly recommended for anyone who enjoy at least 2 things in this list :

- Indiana Jones / Archaeology
- Good lore / Story / Dialogues
- Cryptic / Mysterious Clues
- Platforming
- Hard & overall quite challenging stuff
- Dedicated dev‚ no major bug experienced
- Banger OST

What you'll get is a great gem

Hell skulling yeah !

This was great gem even in beta and devs keeps adding free content / DLC after 1.0 launch.
Battle feels intense & great, game is easy to learn but hard to master.

10/10

TLDR : 9/10 Great underated roguelite for anyone who enjoyed Isaac or Hades

+ dev listen & actually care about players thoughts & opinions
+ music chill af
+ immersive & overall great 'room' design
+ many ways to build & improve between runs
+ the idea of dreaming / being in real world is smart & original
+ the story is better / deeper than you might think

- some boring puzzle rooms
- no autosave during run ! only option each floor is save + quit or continue
- possibility to skip boss / reward if beaten once, making it too easy if done this way

Yet another dope platformer, overall the most polished levels design I've ever seen.

+ Really challenging if you play normal way
+ Have an assist mode giving infinite dash / life for beginners or kids.
+ Great soundtrack

So basically this gem is for any 'kind' (casual / expert) of platformer lover around.
Off course you should buy it. 10/10

Overall most enjoyable and well executed Roguelike I ever played 10/10 (still playing & having fun on this @ 100+hours)

- 8 unlockable characters with specific power / weakness
- Got rekt by over 20 boss
- Tons of stuff to unlock & secret to figure out
- Great gameplay / feelings over each run i've done (fear, rage, pride, happiness, swag, whatever you might feel)

Lil' warning : Be aware it's kinda a hard game, that can get frustating since you'll lose countless times but learn from it & improve step by step. Took me 30 hours to finish it for the first time, but man that felt damn good & worth af.

A very impressive first game from an Australian indie team <3

Hopefully it won't be last one for them since Hollow Knight is a flawless adventure :

+ Very well written,
+ His own unique & original graphical arts,
+ Great gameplay / atmosphere / anim effect / music
+ Tons of items / optional bosses / challenges
+ 3 Free nice DLC <3

Go for it, or you'd miss something.
10/10

Indie platformer / Puzzle game with great atmospehere.
I was born to play it. Maybe you are too
9/10

TLDR: don't buy

As an old school RPG fan i can't let this one go without a word.
Got stuck through a wall within an hour, fights pop up every 4 steps (annoying af), nothing feels original, VERY FEW diversity of monsters, ALL achievements bugged since a year...

Even 10-15 years ago I wouldn't recommend this game.
