Absolutely loving this at the moment.
I'm on about 65% map completion and am just having such a good time with it. It's really hit the spot in terms of the Metroidvania itch I had been feeling for a while and I kind of want it to just go on forever at this point!
Got what I assume is the "bad ending" last night when I
killed Gebel on first discovering him - I'm guessing with more exploration I will discover the real ending.
The combat and movement is really satisfying which means that just exploring is always a joy and never a chore. I'm favouring boots as my main weapon at the moment as I love the rapid kick attacks that you can do compared to the slower weapons, although the most powerful boots I've found to date are pretty weak compared to many of the swords and other kit that I'm turning up.
Spent some time farming a few shards and upgrading their ranks last night and now I've got some ludicrously overpowered attacks. Riga Storӕma is just crazy when you power it up!
