Tried it out for 15 mins. It's more of a puzzle platformer than it is a metroidvania. The environment and SFX are really gorgeous, and has this air of mystery about it.

The game is free for PS plus members (which is how I got it). Not sure if it is free for gamepass members or not.

I've played it for a few hours and it's the most fun I've had in a sense that games like Outer Worlds were fun in a toyboxy, novel way (or perhaps Baba is You, which I found to hard?)

I'm usually not a big fan of what are apparently called MetroidBrainia games (metroidvania, but more puzzles, less combat), but it's special enough to keep me hooked so far. Tunic was the last game that (almost) pulled that off.

One small example: there are no typical power ups like a double jump, or a rocket launcher, staples of almost every metroidvania game.
