If you played and liked any of the Momodora games you can stop reading here and just buy the game, you'll absolutely enjoy it.
If you never played Momodora before, but are interested in Metroidvanias or 2d action games, I also think you'll really like it.

This game is the culmination and a love letter to the whole Momodora series. The main plot is standalone, so it's not absolutely necessary to play the previous games to enjoy this one (and there is a handy summary), but I highly recommend you do to get all the little nods and references to the previous games.

This game is at the same time true to the classic tropes of the series but it also changes up the momodora formula a bit, but in ways that i ended up really liking.
I was unsure at first about the secrets being marked in the map, but in the end it was still challenging to find ways to access them and it didn't bother me.
Managing Stamina for dodges and the bow made boss fights really tense and memorable to me.
There's also the amazing addition of boss rush mode, that is always a plus in my book.
And it has fishing! What more do you want?

Speaking of boss fights, bombservice has not lost his edge and delivered amazing boss fights on par with the bests in the series (and one i consider one of my favorite boss fights overall)

I would also be remiss not to mention the art and animations of this game. They are absolutely stellar, truly one of the most beautiful pixel metroidvanias that i've seen lately. Not only Momo's animations are amazing but the bosses to, the team managed to craft cinematic experiences that I will not forget anytime soon with their art.

I cleared the game 111% and it was a pretty good time overall, my expectations for this game were great, and even then they were exceeded.
But I'm a big fan of the series, so your mileage may vary.

All in all this is a very messy review, but if you want to take anything from it, is that the game is good, beautiful, polished and I loved it.
