I love the atmosphere of the game but it unfortunately has its problems design wise. It also unfortunately feels dated already with all of the Metroidvanias that released after it improving the formula. I enjoy the weird lore too. I hesitate to reccomend it though. Definitely looking at the sequel with hopeful optimism.

aww man ...Inertial Drift review - a unique and exhilarating arcade racer
What's the best drift in the world of racing games? Maybe it's the blue-blooded pair of Out Run, with its stick-induced…
" The Switch version is a competent port, even if its framerate - a fairly steady 30fps - means it's not the ultimate way to play."

I have on PC. It's a good game, beautiful. The controls aren't typical for a puzzle platform game and may take some getting used to. It has a serious tone and darker story than what you'd expect looking at it. It's worth playing in my opinion.
Can't say I noticed any issues with it, though I haven't played or seen it on other platforms so not able to compare. It's relatively short but I'd say it's worth that.
I imagine we will get a sale by Black Friday with all of the atlas games still for sale (etrian mystery dungeon was seemingly delisted randomly this summer). I would say the other EO games are more traditional (single tower to go through), but the original remakes have an optional story mode if you don't like making your own parties. IV is probably the easiest to get into, so take that when consider what you might want. The other SMT games are also worth considering if you like doings on crawlers. Most should be $10-15 when on sale.
It's alright, very easy and definitely on the short side. If you want a game that doesn't really do anything extremely well but is fine for getting a couple of days into and then forgetting about, there are far worse choices. There some mechanics that don't totally work (the familiars don't do much, the sidequest system can be frustrating and there's a couple areas that really needed a fast travel point) but ultimately it's competently made and reminded me of my favorite Castlevanias several times (particularly SotN and Dawn of Sorrow).
well i got the game on launch and i must say this is true.

Feeling rather conflicted about this as I love the concept because of my own connection to art but dislike the execution. Its a very unique concept that does deserve a mention. Its an art school "simulator", that gives you semi-random art assignments that might or might not make any sense. It pokes fun at the subjectivity of art by semi randomly judging your works, before you move on to find more tools to draw with. I really like the idea, but the execution is just lacking. An actual AI analyzing works and suggesting feedback would be a really cool touch, but it feels like it turns into a gimmicky joke here with a bit of an annoying presentation and movement controls. Worth checking out if you want to use the game as creative inspiration with limited creative control. Would make for a fun challenge among friends or an art group though. 2/5

The art and the music is so good that I want to try it anyway if the price is low enough, even if it's funny only for a couple hours it could be worth it.
I only played it for the first time recently, and I thought it was super good, better than almost all the more recent metroidvanias. The reason is that the power-ups are actually satisfying and have a lot of traversal options and depth. For me, the level design is also better than most, because I always felt somewhat challenged on where to go next, but I never actually got stuck.
While I was browsing the eShop as usual I saw there's a free version where you can play the games created by others but you can't create your own.
