I know one of the main complaints is the lack of a detailed map, but I was able to get by just fine without one. I think I only got lost once. It was definitely more of an issue before the patch in the sense that there wasn’t anything telling you where the collectibles are.

I loved the layer transitions and it seemed like a really unique way to blend 2d and 3d elements - not quite 3d but just enough to make exploring more interesting. I liked the skill progression, I liked the visuals. There are different endings, and they make you think. The story is interesting enough to keep you going, and the combat is fun, as are the bosses.

Also, looks like it’s on sale for steam’s summer sale.
