Wonderful experience

No useless guidance in this game, mostly an unexplained magical world with its own challenges.
An excellent level design which adds to the magic as you unlock new world parts through little puzzles.
Combats are quick, no damage sponge boss here.
Let yourself be guided by a giant robot and make your way until the final wow !

The game has a very appealing art style, that was easily the first thing that drew me into it.
The gameplay was fine and the exploration was great.
I liked the use of no dialogue, it added to the atmosphere of the world.
Overall, an enjoyable experience that I would recommend, especially when you can get it on sale.
