Play Animal Well!!! It's like if Halo 2 meets Halo 3!!

Okay fr though, Colon asked me to play this game, I only expected it to be a 2D platformer, and later found out it's also a metroidvania... but playing this was an incredible experience. SO MUCH secrets, the game can be beaten in like under 3 hours if you just ignore the secrets, but personally I think taking my time and exploring, and trying to "break" mechanics, running into walls, and just tossing anything into everything and in some cases it actually brings me to a secret was so fun and makes me feel cool actually lol. There are some secrets that would've definitely not been uncovered if I wasn't given any hints, but that wouldn't affect the experience at all, cause the game itself feels sooo immersive. You just get thrown into it, barely any text tutorial, the level and room designs do it for you. Sometimes it gets overwhelming as once you get to a certain area, you can branch off to any direction and that might seem intimidating to some, but you really just gotta trust the game. Also the sound design, and the music really captures that mysterious and eerie atmosphere of the setting, and I think the art direction is beautiful. It's a very dim game and has a lot of life and character into it.
