    I'm sure it's up to personal preference but I found the pixel graphics to be ugly even compared to other pixel graphics. The combat tries to be like Hades but fails to deliver in complexity, with you only spamming a basic attack, dodging and using a special from time to time leading to really bland combat. The level design tries to be like a metroidvania, but ends up just being mainly linear hallways with a few hidden items that feel more like doing it just for completionist sake because the items themselves are incredibly boring. Even the story fails to grip you with it's badly written dialogue and pacing issues.

    An attempt was made at creating a great game, it just fell short in every category.    … Expand

    -even Enchanted edition update didnt fix anying because core game bad.

    -very very repetitive fast fluid bad tedious button smashy torture combat, all u do spamming when yellow above enemy head evade or use skill to cancel his attack repeat until u finish the game.
    (if u have a game advice from me choose easy mode to save time and get true ending easly).

    -game design is so bad, all bad bosses, some very annoying enemies, bad endings, pacing issues, badly written dialogue and story.

    -only good world lore, atmosphere and art.

    -buy instead hollow knight.    … Expand

    A top-down adventure title that pays homage to the likes of Zelda and Illusion of Time, There Is No Light is an illuminating game that fits alongside them. A little rough around some edges, it nonetheless scratches that itch for retro enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
