I've played this for 12 hours. Yesterday I defeated the second "real boss" and it was great.
The whole game is so fun to explore to find every secret, the only thing I don't like are the hidden breakable walls, especially due to the lack of a long-range infinite attack.
The overall flow of the game is incredible. I think "I'll just explore this different direction since it cuts off quicker in the map" and boom. It opens up even more and connects it all!
#AnimalWell is a lovely #metroidvania type #game. Good vibes, decent puzzles, and that bit of wandering messiness the genre often engenders.
However, I will admit I don't understand the exceptionally high praise for it. It feels pretty standard for the genre. It's just a decent metroidvania that isn't really breaking any new ground I've seen.
Finally finished Dust: An Elysian Tail. Took me an eternity and a half to finish it, but I savored every moment of it like a fine wine. This will probably go down as one of my all time fave Metroidvanias to play!
