What it is

A linear action-adventure game with fast-paced combat and exploration. It features a melancholic atmosphere, unique level mechanics, and over 50 enemy types.

The catch

Combat is janky and constant, with weapons that struggle to hit fast swarming enemies.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 96% positive, but with 2,972 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
