A genuine 5 stars all across the board, I cannot express just how much I adored playing this game from start to finish. The aesthetic was perfect, the narrative was immediately gripping, the combat felt so clean, the difficulty was just right where it wasn't too easy but it wasn't too difficult to get discouraging. Learning the boss patterns felt so gratifying, and on my winning attempts for all 3 fights I was able to win without taking any damage because of how well the bosses were designed. My own single critique is that I would've appreciated the ability to skip the intros to fights just to get back in the groove quicker, but that's a very minor thing in an otherwise flawless entry. Can't sing this game's praises enough
