If I have to discribe the game with two words it would be: Beautiful and not precise. Which technically are three words, but you get the point.
Beautiful:
design, presentation of the story, soundtrack, .... it's just stunning
not precise:
a metroidvania / plattform game / jump and run with hitboxes of enemies, walls and plattforms that are not always clear is not a good time. Sometimes I reach a lantern for my grab/jump, sometimes not. The distance doesn't ever feel intuitive. Sometimes I can't really tell if something is part of the backround design or part of the plattforming. Not precise.
Combat and enemies have a lot of shiny/flash effects. These effects look nice but make it hard to see projectiles or enemy attacks. Some projectiles have the same color/look of the orbs the enemies drop when defeated. So if you have more than one enemy around you it's sometimes really hard to tell the difference between the orbs and the hurtful projectiles. Not precise.
And the absolut worst part: the boss-fights. A lot of those are made in a 2,5-D style. Which means some parts of the bosses body are in the backround and you can run through them. But some parts are part of the body which causes damage to your health if you touch it. This is often not clear, so bossfights turn into a not-precise-hitbox-guessing-game. These fights are not that difficult from a mechanic point of view, just awful to play, because you never what will and will not hit you. Not precise.
I just have beaten another boss, but for now I will stop playing simply because I lost the fun. And this is the second time that happened. I can't say if I will finish the game or not. If I do, it will be more out of pride and finishing the story and less out of fun.
