I was looking on the PS store and came across this, I forgot it was even a thing never mind had already been released, it's £25 so not super expensive and actually pretty fun, It's a Metroidvania style game so you know the usual, areas that you can't get to before learning a skill or ability then going back, plenty of hidden areas, shortcuts etc to find with an on-screen map that you watch fill in where you have been and where haven't yet, Skill tree for the weapons you get, collectibles to find as i said the usual with this syle of game.
Graphically it's fine it's nothing that is pushing the PS5 or anything it comes with the PS4 version as well but I haven't seen that to know if there are any real differences or anything, there is voice acting it's decent again nothing special it does the job.
The combat is fine I have the second weapon now and switching is quick and easy you just press the required button on the d-pad, the only issue I do have is healing when in battle it can be a little annoying as there is an animation of drinking a health potion ( carrot juice) that takes a couple of seconds to pull off so you can't just pop it you need to be a little distance away as not to get hit when taking it, maybe that changes later on I don't know, there are boss battles one of which took a few attempts to nail and some platforming that took a bit of figuring out but nothing super difficult.
Overall so far it's a neat game I'm having fun.
