While Nor’s double-jump and air-dash are mechanically useful, they don’t always feel the best in practice.

Without that impact, platforming ends up feeling almost a bit limp at points.

There are only four major bosses in the game, and a similar number of Revenant mini-bosses.

Even with the friction points I experienced, I could easily see myself revisiting the game down the line.
