That's why I found it weird that when you hit enemies you get knocked back because this seems antithetical to that feeling of control. They bring the challenge through other means. Some games are stingy with things like wall jumps working once only - here you just hop on up the wall as far as you want. I love the feeling of precision and control here and the movement skills just add to it. I've tried getting into games before that are the opposite (heavy on momentum, such as Spelunky) and it just never clicks for me. There's also no momentum on the ground allowing precise turns and changes of directions. The devs made a point of having quick acceleration when jumping, followed by a bit of floating at the top and good air control. I also enjoy the control mechanics a lot. I love that feeling in a game which is why I keep coming back to this genre. Comparisons have been drawn and debates have been made, but more than anything else this kind of 'lost in a big, uncaring, and forgotten world' feeling is what brings Dark Souls to mind when I play it. The soundtrack is great, it's not one I'll listen to outside of the game, but sets the tone inside the game perfectly. The game has a stark beauty with the muted colours and subdued music. I finished this originally before any DLC back in the day (100+%, except maybe Radiance - I can't remember but I got close if I didn't beat it). I was feeling uninspired so I went back to an old game. R/Games has a Discord server!
