I deeply enjoyed playing through MIO. It's visually stunning and the music is used to great effect. This is one of the few times I was happily invested in a metroidvania's story, despite the lack of many character moments to get me invested in individuals. Learning more about the place I was exploring and then finding absolutely incredible environments that tell a new part of that story was such a brilliant and well-crafted experience. I played the Demo initially, and the slow and floaty controls left me a bit underwhelmed. I think that initial friction just fell away as I got used to it and unlocked more movement. And despite being "floaty", most of the bosses felt like really tight and well done experiences. My primary gripe is actually the lack of bosses later in the game. There are still several bosses that all felt really special, but seemingly the game wanted me to unlock all of my abilities, and then feed me a bunch of platforming gauntlets near the end. While I did enjoy these too (bar my stubbornness resulting in the occasional runback and replaying of difficult sections), they felt back-loaded. I want to give special praise to the boss design. Super interesting and distinct, and it felt like I died a reasonable amount of times to all of them - not something I can say about my experience with some metroidvanias. And of course, visually a treat every time. Overall I really recommend it. Definitely a proud addition to my 100%ed collection!

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Even though I had a lot of fun with MIO, I can’t recommend it. At least not to anyone who hasn’t played a Metroidvania before. It’s absurdly difficult, and the paths back to the bosses are absurdly long. On top of that, the game punishes exploration by removing the player’s maximum health in optional areas. Dear developers: Rule number 1: Never just take away a player’s hard-earned progress for no reason. That goes over terribly. In the end, you’ll have just as many lives as you started with provided you discover every single secret. If you just rush through it: your bad luck. It’s impossible to finish the game with just one life. If you’re looking for an absolutely brutal challenge and can’t get enough of Ori, Hollow Knight, and Silksong, definitely pick this up, the game is a real challenge that I enjoyed. If you want to find all the secrets, there are some great YouTube videos. That’s how I unlocked all the achievements, too. Otherwise, the art style of this game is fantastic and unique. I would definitely call this game a work of art. Best regards, and good luck and patience after you buy it!
if u have an itch left by hollow knight silksong this is the game to help you with that itch
I really loved he whole thing!
A metroidvania that rewards exploration with *checks notes* permanent health loss, one of the weirdest mechanical decisions I've ever seen.
really good art and story despite some frustrating bosses and parkour sections. I also wish some of the bosses had more lore/backstories, it might've made fighting them a bit funner/rewarding
À bien des égards, MIO est un jeu exceptionnel. Sa DA resplendissante a été un choc, j'ai toujours voulu voir une esthétique comme ça ! Y a une prestance de fou tout du long, avec des super idées visuelles, des chara designs stylés et inspirants, un sound design remarquable et surtout une musique oscillant entre jazz, IDM, et un paquet d'autres influences. L'ensemble sonore donne une ambiance incroyable qui renforce tout l'univers, c'est sans doute mon album préféré de l'année. Également inclusif dans son langage avec quelques persos non-binaires, ça fait très plaisir à voir ! Les contrôles répondent bien, malgré quelques petites imprécisions ressenties. Le fait de ne pas avoir accès à la carte constamment durant les 2 premières heures est osé, mais fait du sens et pousse à vraiment faire attention à son environnement, d'autant qu'il est hyper bien pensé. MIO est assez polarisant dans ses partis-pris et j'en défend la plupart, mais j'ai pas aimé devoir rester 1 seconde au sol à chaque fois pour recharger l'énergie (dans n'importe quel autre metroidvania le reset serait instantané dès qu'on touche une surface), ni voir l'énergie descendre toute seule même quand on ne l'utilise pas jusqu'au bout directement (ce qui est très frustrant au début quand on essaie de prévoir l'énergie qu'il nous reste en pleine section de plate-formes !). En soi, tout le jeu est pensé autour de ça donc on s'y habitue vite et il n'y a pas d'écueils critiques, mais ça déstabilise pas mal. J'ai aussi souvent pesté sur le timing d'esquive légèrement bizarre, le stun qui peut ne pas marcher sur les mobs, ou des boss qui exigent de passer parfois plus de temps dans le runback que dans le combat. Certains passages sont mal pensés, comme le combat contre Cauldron qui vous balance la mécanique des ventilos d'un coup, sans avoir pu avant appréhender le plein fonctionnement, alors qu'un niveau dédié arrive après. J'en profite pour mentionner en plus deux aberrations : il y a des succès pour avoir découvert chaque mécanique pseudo-cachée du dash vers le bas ET du dash en utilisant les flâneuses. Ce genre de truc est chelou de base, mais c'est d'autant plus embêtant de ne pas l'expliciter dès le départ, puisque le dash des flâneuses m'a ruiné quelques essais sur un boss qui l'utilise à fond. Ça vous TP de quelques mètres, et ça par rapport à vos habitudes de déplacement c'est pas rien (surtout sur un boss !). Rien ne m'avait montré, pas même par hasard durant plusieurs HEURES d'exploration et de combat, que ce dash était possible. Rien ne l'utilisait dans le level design, aucun ennemi n'y préparait, BREF il y a un manquement à ce niveau en terme de game design. La map fourmille de détails et d'idées de construction ahurissantes, plus on avance plus c'est impressionnant.de plus en plus impressionnante et intelligente plus on progresse, le chemin de la progression globale est okay. L'obtention des compétences et leur mise en scène sont pas assez efficaces, ça tombe vraiment comme ça au pif, et le level design exige de vous déplacer dans une autre zone pour tester ça, alors qu'on aurait pu l'avoir juste après l'upgrade. Pourtant les cinématiques des PNJ importants sont plus travaillées, donc bizarre. Le voyage rapide n'est pas utilisable entre certaines portions de la map, c'est quand même c*n. Mouvements incroyables et différents des autres metroidvania, une fois les flâneuses acquises. Challenges de plate-formes excellents, mais la caméra a tendance à ne pas suivre MIO et les gens ont raison, on passe TROP DE TEMPS sans moyen de régen, encore une fois c'est un gros problème (l'assistance existe dans les options, cela dit). Boss globalement bons (mais intros NON SKIPPABLES !!), un ou deux sont chiants avec une difficulté mal adaptée pour rien...et mention spéciale, évidemment, à Sol & Vin, qui est d'assez loin un des boss les plus gâché que j'ai vus depuis des années. Mécaniquement, il est infiniment moins insupportable qu'un Groal de Silksong par exemple, mais il compense largement par le fait qu'il vous bute en deux coups, qu'importe votre barre de vie. C'est une idée totalement ravagée, puisqu'au-delà du fait que rien ne justifie de tels dégâts (double-dégâts aurait été plus crédible et agréable), on passe par conséquent son temps à crever en 5s, sans pouvoir trouver une stratégie valable, et à répéter en boucle le runback de 30s. Ça donne plus l'impression de voir un mode "unfair" ou "kaizo" débouler sans être invité que d'affronter un boss plaisant. Résultat bah on regarde une vidéo astuce et on se tape le crâne contre un mur jusqu'à ce que ça passe. Toutes ces erreurs dont je vous parle depuis le début auraient dues être corrigées vu la qualité du reste, et font tache dans une expérience qui reste sinon excessivement solide, et certainement un des jeux les plus intéressants de l'année. J'y reviendrai régulièrement avec plaisir. J'ai eu quelques ralentissements mais sinon ça tourne très bien.
This may be one of the most difficult games I've ever played with how precise you need to be with the platforming puzzles. The run backs are what I dislike the most as it just wastes time mainly but I really enjoy the vibe and challenge of the game. Finally getting a kill feels good, however, I'm usually like "mhm... now what?" after a kill since the game's direction can feel a bit vague, but once I find where to go I get really absorbed until the challenge is complete be it a boss or a platforming puzzle.
好评是不可能好评的，游戏后期的跳跳乐太多太长跳完也没什么正回馈，没有让人振奋的剧情，没有强大的能力，只有更多的跳跳乐。这游戏属于典型的创作者孤芳自赏沉迷于自己的艺术，一小撮玩家在那鼓吹什么2026最好的银河城，地图设计远超丝之歌云云，实际销量惨淡最终制作组大裁员，让人哀其不幸怒其不争。
I have only been playing this game for about 3.5hours, and I gotta say this is an amazing platformer. When I was watching the trailers I was thinking this looks pretty neat. However, the actual game play is way better than what the trailers might lead you to think. My usual experience when playing a game is you look at the trailer, and most of the time it is about 1/2 has cool as what is in the trailer. This game was sort of the flip of that. It looked kinda cool in the trailer, and then the actual game play far better. The texturing *chef's kiss*. The soundtrack gold star. The platforming mechanics feels like being spider man but a cool robot. The lore in the background also quite good! Highly recommend playing it, if you like a metroidvania platformer.
