I went into the game blind. I had no idea what it was. I was initially turned off by the jumping mechanics in the first couple of minutes.

I had been trying a ton of games on Xbox game pass that day, and I had tried a lot of mediocre titles just prior to booting it up.

I was this close to closing the game, but I thought it would be silly to just quit that quickly, so I said I would try it until I got past the tutorial.

I'm glad I kept going because 1) my mind was blown when I got past the tutorial, and 2) it ended up being one of my top 5 favorite games, if not my absolute favorite.
