What it does best
A pixel-art island that feels pulled from a lost Game Boy cartridge
A complete Zelda-like adventure in one satisfying sitting
A small map that keeps giving you reasons to poke around
Compact bosses with more personality than the ordinary enemies
What might put you off
Its deliberately tiny scope and short runtime
Very familiar and forgiving Zelda-inspired design
The setup
What you are walking into
