great game i love the pogo

Recommended Sep 8, 2026
The story is deep enough to keep me looking and learning but I would like more. A bit more lore to read or characters to talk to. The very very very little you do get works well but I have so many questions and even after the first ending I have no answers. Gameplay is peak, 9/10 only lacking in satasfying gear customizaiton, there is no personalization or style for the MC. Clothes, capes, colors or weapons. Music is MID, atmospheric but entirely forgetable. Passible but feel free to listen to podcasts or something 2/10 Style and art are thematic and on point 10/10 Story 4/10 overall its something of a 6-7/10 game, great metroidvania gameplay and entirely worth the asking price
