God, I really wanted to like this game. It's got a great concept: Prince of Persia meets Zelda meets Hollow Knight. The controls are tight and zippy.

Unfortunately there's one fatal flaw that ruins the whole game for me: Stingy use of save points.

The game's actually pretty forgiving with checkpointing after you bork a platforming attempt. But actually saving your progress can only happen at specific statues that are distributed in the most miserly fashion. I was halfway into the second dungeon and had unlocked the double-jump but something required me to step away from the computer. I later sat back down and reload and everything I'd done in that dungeon was gone because the nearest save statues was 3 areas with separate loading screens away.

Fuck. That.
