Despite a couple really rough difficulty spikes (especially a walk back that seems notorious), I thought the game did a marvelous job scaffolding the difficulty steadily in a way that kept me more and more enthralled when other games lose me towards the end.
And as metroidvanias I found it a joy to navigate. Loved the complex systems with which you customized things for various situations. Great time.
Felt like I was being super thorough and only got 59% completion. Incredible lol. Game is stuffed!
Every time I turned around the lens was zooming in as I was in a STATE
What a wonderful and thoughtful write up! So great to see Amberspire’s soundtrack getting the love it deserves
Finished Mina the Hollower on the flight back from Italy and whoooo boy. Most consistently satisfying game from start to finish that I've played in a while.
A lovely review that correctly highlights @mode7games.bsky.social's wonderful soundtrack as doing an extraordinary amount of lifting to the themes of the game
