I love this game. In terms of metroidvania this is the best, better than Hollow Knight. Everything from the bosses to story is amazing. The gameplay is smooth and movement is amazing, all with beautiful visuals. One of the reasons this is my favourite game of all time is the secrets, as not only are there lots of them but there are puzzle solving aspects that I havent found in another game like this. The only thing that I wish there was more of is content (not that there isnt enough) but that I wish I could play more. It plays for a solid 100 or so hours to 100%. I really hope this game gets more updates, or a sequel, or the developers make more games like it. I rarely write reviews, let alone long ones, but THIS GAME IS WORTH IT!!! 11/10 would recommend.
Great game, loved it.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
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.

[h2]MIO took the joy out of getting lost in metroidvanias[/h2] You permanently lose hearts as part of the game's story. But you lose a lot more if you veer off course. The tremors are tied to map exploration. When a tremor sets off, you permanently lose a whole heart. You backtracked to an old area? Lose a heart. Went left instead of the main path? Lose another heart. Now, you *have* to look for the life shards. Gaining a heart no longer feels rewarding. You're just offsetting loss. Enemies do lose a % of their total hp, including bosses. Maybe that balances the difficulty. But what about platforming? Oh, they're exactly the same? And now you have less headroom to make mistakes? Gosh darn. Well, it's all worth it for that one-out-of-four life shard at the end of this course. We're all androids deteriorating in a dying ship. Naturally, more tremors will occur the longer the game goes. Plot significance! Except, losing hearts is tied to map exploration, [b]not plot progression[/b]. You trigger it by walking on tremor checks on the ground. Not, when you unlock new skills or get upgrades. You can accidentally trigger tremors! And when you do - you're now burdened with delving deeper for upgrades. To make it feel worth it. MIO is not a hard game. You can tell it's made to be more accessible. I can go through most areas and survive most boss fights with maybe two hearts. But, I have never, ever, felt burdened to explore new areas or felt scared to backtrack when I unlocked new movements, in any metroidvania game I have ever played before.
Certainly not without its flaws, with a few sections that are a little more frustrating than they needed to be. But this art direction that could bring you to tears, this world to explore, this subtle but perfectly fitting music, this insane level design (there's an achievement called "wait...what?" that is so aptly named), this touching story. A personal favorite! Un grand merci à toute l'équipe de dev. Puissiez-vous retrouver du taf rapidement et nous émerveiller avec vos nouveaux projets !
Juste excellent jeu en tout point que ce soit la DA, l’exploration, les graphismes, le gameplay, le level design, le game design, les boss je recommande tout en soulignant une certaine difficulté quand meme qui ne conviendra pas à tout public mais si vous avez fait Hollow Knight ou des jeux similaires ça devrait bien se passer
好玩儿的，但跳跳乐太难了，对手残党太不友好了，靠自己只打通了普通结局，从坩埚开始就不行了，最后只能靠mod打完真结局~~
PEAK GAME
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
I LOVED THAT YOU CAN EXPLORE SO MUCH IN JUST ONE AREA
If you liked Silksong or Nine Sols, you'll love this. I'm a big fan of platformers, metroidvania, and Soulslikes in general, and this game scratches that itch. It's also way less dark than most, and has a very cozy feel surprisingly, almost like Ori and the Blind Forest but less Disney. Definitely give it a try.
