Really cool metroidvania. Has a solid mix of satisfying and challenging platforming as well as varied combat situations and options. The controls are extremely tight and responsive which is soo important with these style of games. I definitely recommend this to fans of the hollow knight and ori series.
If you like platforming in your metroidvanias, this game is for you. Nice upgrades, good map, & overall a very enjoyable game.
When it says punishing, it means just that. Too bad for me that I was able to only finish 70% of the game, because the end game platforming difficulty wore out it's welcome. It's not something I will revisit, but it is fun. If you're a platformer god, try this one out. If you're not... still try it I guess if you want to challenge yourself. Or not; I'm not your dad.
I’m about 3/4 through the game from what I can tell. Before I Go is a must play for anyone who enjoys Metroidvanias with difficult platforming. The controls are extremely tight and responsive, similar to hollow knight or megaman x. The platforming areas are thoughtfully designed and fair. Combat abilities gained throughout the game are helpful and each is useful for different situations. The art style and music create a sense of loneliness similar to super Metroid. I’ve beaten every good Metroidvania and consider this among the best. Highly recommend. I hope this review encourages more people to try the game so we can get a dlc or sequel
This game is great. Very tricky. Not all areas are accessible even in the beginning. I look forward to beating this game and unlock more of the areas.
Schönes Metroidvania mit viel Plattform und guten Rätseln. Nur dass man manchmal nicht weiß, wo es weitergeht, nervt ein bisschen.
super metroidvania plutot simple dans l'ensemble, je recommande vivement ! bravo au developpeur ! Perso je le mettrai pas dans la catégorie "difficile" ni "Dark fantasy", j'ai failli pas l'acheté à cause de ça...
This game is very addictive. It's the platforming Metroid-esque that kept me going for hours. I wanted to continue exploring, backtracking and finding new abilities to progress into the next area. The art style is lovely, brings a lot of spirituality into the game. The music is eerie and matches well with the theme of the game. The bosses are a bit more on the easy side and too far between but if you love platforming and challenges more then this metroidvania is for you. I think this game could use more color, maybe areas looking a bit different, like I wouldn't mind even an additional biome full of nature. I haven't finished it completely yet but so far I am enjoying it a lot. I definitely would recommend this metroidvania and even would consider this to be the perfect starting metroidvania if you've never jumped into this genre before.
JEU ASSEZ DIFFICILE MAIS FLUIDE ET A PROGRESSION REGULIERE.AU FUR ET A MESURE DE L ACQUISITION DES COMPETENCE ; A ENVIRON 45 % DU JEU IMPOSSIBLE DE POURSUIVRE SI ON NE REUSSIT PAS CERTAINS NIVEAUX PAS DE MODE FACILE. DOMMAGE
Challenging and incredibly addicting game that pays homage to the greats of the Metroidvania genre. The ease of going through the world with non-linear exploration made the time go by in a flash. Highly recommend for any fan of the genre.
