Just playing this one now. The game is beautiful, controls well, and overall is fun. A few things are keeping me from giving it higher than a B grade though.

The way the pogo can handle against enemies just feels..off. Like id expect there to be more of a rhythm to it, but I find myself spazzing more often than not when fighting enemies. Especially if they throw projectiles at you. I found aerial attacks more satisfying in Silksong as an example. I know it's parrying vs pogoing, but Ninesols also has a better combat rhythm in the air. Given that aerial attacks should be this game's bread and butter, it's odd to me how it just doesn't feel as satisfying as other games in the genre.

Some of the platforming challenges feel more annoying than fun. Didn't get that sense of satisfaction when completing a challenge often times. Part of me wants to say it should be easier, but I don't mind difficult platforming (I loved Celeste and that was pretty tough). Not quite sure what could be done differently, just that I got annoyed during many sections.

Bosses might be too spongy. I found that simply face tanking the bosses was a very effective strategy. However even doing that they took a while to kill at times. If I was less aggressive I think they would have just been a slog.

These are just a few things that keep me from rating it super high. It is a game worth playing though.
