A worthy addition to my small list of games I care to write a review for. Artistically, Furi is an absolute masterpiece. The environment is beautiful, diverse and the soundtrack is just awesome. - Though that might depend on your taste of music. The style has so much to offer and works really well for the combination of action sequences and bullet-hell segments. I personally like the idea of sacrificing complex attack animations in favor of an "easier" indicator (a flashing light) because it fits the style really well and is still way hard enough with the small parry window you are given.

One thing I feel has been overlooked a lot is the story. Yes, Furi might not be a game that cares to elaborate its story from a hundret different angles but there's a lot to enjoy here, if you are interested in it. The walking segments are very atmospheric, though not being able to skip them (even after the first playthrough) is a bit annoying when trying to just get a better story rank. I originally hesitated to pick up the game because a lot of professional reviews hinted towards the controls not being as responsive as one would desire but it turned out 80% of critics ware just too plain stupid to grasp the concept of an on-release trigger.
