It's hard to believe this is SuperGiant's first game. Everything about it is so breathtakingly beautiful, and it is clear they put a lot of painstaking detail into every scene. The levels are absolutely gorgeous, but the combat is also very well-balanced and it feels tight. It feels good to counter that enemies devasting blow, or to land that expert power shot at just the right moment. Oh, and of course, the voice-acting and lore. More than any other game I've ever played, this game really pulls you into the story of the fantastical world, and this devasting Calamity that befell it. The sweet succlent tones of the Stranger as he dictates your adventures, give life and story to eveyrthing you do. This world truly comes alive and you become the Kid in his quest to save the world.

10/10 My favorite game of all time.
