Pseudoregalia

Rocky first hour but otherwise great. This game reminds me of dark souls in terms of the feeling of being lost and lowkey just going places until it works. The first hour or so playing with no help can be rather grueling with slower movement and not knowing any locations (especially since I managed to miss the map room for a while). The platforming is tight and a ton of fun though, which is truly what makes the game wonderful. I learned I accidentally performed a few skips because I just didn't have an item I needed but managed to make it through sections anyway, which is very cool, but is probably a testament to the confused and sometimes annoying feelings this metroidvania brings. Sybil is our GOAT (? cat ? lady ?) with quads of steel for lowkey doing like 12 backflips in a row over death pits just to unlock a new outfit.

If you like 3d platformers and never felt tested by them, by golly this game is for you. The best part is that it's extremely nonlinear. It can be daunting but I promise, getting lost in pseudoregalia is an amazing time. I just wish there was more!
