Boss battles spark the praise: 17 high-energy encounters out of 17 are called thrilling rather than tedious. Yet the same players clocked under two hours before the framerate stumbles forced them to quit.

What it's about: Sautez avec une arme à feu à travers un monde qui bourdonne, plein de monstres excentriques, de puzzles rusés et de boss inhabituels dans ce metroidvania frénétique et insouciante.
