    I feel like this really could have been an absolute gem of a game.
    Great graphics, good music, decent story and fine combat and whilst the game doesn't have the same challenge in boss fights or excellent, multi-branched level-design that, say, Ori and the Blind Forrest or Hollow Knight have, a game that isn't at the bleeding edge of difficulty, sending players along a more linear path    I feel like this really could have been an absolute gem of a game.
    Great graphics, good music, decent story and fine combat and whilst the game doesn't have the same challenge in boss fights or excellent, multi-branched level-design that, say, Ori and the Blind Forrest or Hollow Knight have, a game that isn't at the bleeding edge of difficulty, sending players along a more linear path definitely has a place in the Metroidvania genre.
    As it is, it feels like the games boss and level design are designed to be forgiving simply because the controls aren't up to the quality we've come to expect from the genre.
    It's a very odd choice, when you consider that making the game more responsive, especially when the character is airborn, would take about five seconds for the developer to do, in the Unity engine they've chosen to work with.
    I truly hope that more reviewers and players voice their concerns about the controls and that the developer decides to make some small changes because with just a minor update the game could easily go from average to excellent and all those platform sections in the game that feel laborious could become great fun rather than a slog.    … Expand

    It's difficult to exactly call Itorah a metroidvania, since there's so little exploration to be had. The game feels about as linear as a metroidvania could possibly be. Despite this, Itorah is a short but sweet game, with satisfying combat and platforming, and a gorgeous art style to boot. It might not be the best in it's genre, but it's still worth checking out.

    Itorah misses the mark in a couple of places, but was crafted so well in terms of its platforming and artwork. It may be a little too easy and straightforward for hardcore platforming fans. However, it’s perfect for anyone looking for a casual adventure in a beautiful world.

    ITORAH's lush and vibrant environments are one of the only enjoyable aspects of the game, and even those won't manage to rope you through the game's boring storytelling and slow gameplay.

    The potential was certainly there, with the unique Mesoamerican inspirations, beautiful art, and top-notch animations, so it’s unfortunate that I’m left feeling like this was somewhat of a missed opportunity.
