Recommended only if you have played all other metroidvanias out there and just want some more. Sadly its pretty repetetive and somewhat boring. Most likely youll be using same weapon through all the game and exploration abilities are limited to double jump, that youll unlock in first 15 minutes of the game. Theres some sort of jetpack, but it can only be used in couple of levels.

Cryogear is surprisingly fun. I guess it counts as a metroidvania, but it doesn't feel like it. It uses level design that is typical of linear platform games from the 16-bit era, and inventory and skill point trees typical of an RPG. It borrows Dark Souls mechanics for death, making you recover your belongings before you die again.
All in all, a bit hard to categorize due to how many mechanics it cobbles together from other games. But, otherwise, a very fun and satisfying game with plenty of content.

It's very well-polished.
The art is excellent and everything works really well.
The issue I have is with the gameplay.
The enemies are fairly plain and move slowly.
The game feels very slow to me.
I would love to give it a thumbs sideways.

This game is very fun. I enjoy the combination of the action RPG and Metroidvania elements. The gameworld design is quite unique; rather than following a linear path from one objective to the next, you have the freedom to explore and create your own path toward the end. I enjoy replaying this game from time to time, so in my opinion this is a good value purchase as well. Highly recommended.
