I think the biggest draws to the game for me would be, the large map size and the beautiful art. I think the map size alone makes this game pretty interesting since you can really get lost, but in a good way. Map size is probably the biggest thing this game brings to the table.

I think one average thing is, they seem to have copied a lot of the moves from other metroidvanias rather than coming up with their own new moves. Example is the double jump, the dash, wall jump and that kinda thing. These are good moves but so many games have this.

The story being nonsense doesn't bother me that much, since I rarely care about the story anyway.

The game seems really easy? I'm about average as a player. This doesn't bother me though. It's ok to have an easy game sometimes. But I could see this bothering some people.

Did I miss any major beats in my analysis?

Hey folks, so I've been playing this game for a bit, and am still confused on how weapon raw damages match up with each other. So I am wondering if there is some sort of in game overall attack stat or OOG resource that tells you how weapon raw damage should match up? Example:

I have a whip that gives +85 whip damage, and it is doing the same damage per hit (DPH) as a scythe that gives +112 scythe damage, and they are both doing a lot more DPH than a sword that gives +121 sword damage. I get that different weapon types will have different base damages, but with outputs that are that different, it makes it really hard to tell which does more raw damage at a glance. I am pretty sure I am doing the areas out of ideal order, so it is really inconvenient to find a new weapon of a different type than I'm using, then try comparing it against the old weapon by doing a single strike against the same enemy and trying to see the floating number that vanishes instantly. I can evaluate the DPS and play style parts to suit my needs, but I want to use all the weapons and vary my play style, so an easier way to do so would be appreciated!
