100% completion in about 25 hours. I've gotta say - I don't 100% many games - I usually just finish them and call it a day. However, the Ender series is a major exception to that rule. I did this with the first game, because it was one of the best Metroidvanias that came out that year. Ender Magnolia may very well be one of the best Metroidvanias ever made. The controls are perfect. Map design? Spot on. Boss fights are great and balanced. Plus, you can set it to whatever difficulty you want and fully customize your experience (I completed the game on normal difficulty settings). TL:DR - if you enjoy the genre, this is absolutely a must play.

Peak like the previous game. 0 glitches or bugs discovered. OST, like the previous game is so good. Finished the game and my opinions still stand. Flawless 21:9 screen for gameplay, cutscenes are 16:9 like expected. Bosses are very strong while your own damage output is fairly low(imo) I hate the rats Loved the ending. Getting the (true) ending is'nt hard to get like in ender lilies. Wished for a longer epilogue but maybe ever in a sequel. Would insta buy the next game from Adglobe/Live Wire.

This game is close to being the perfect metroidvania. It's crazy how much quality of life aspects the devs has incorporated and I can see that they fully respect the player's time. The main things I'll highlight are: + No contact damage + Fast travel anytime + Great map system that highlights if a section is complete + Large variety of weapons 100%-ed the whole game in hard mode and there was no point where the game felt unfair. The one single thing I would change is including a small invulnerability after being hit, given that there are quite a lot of sources of constant damage (lasers/bombs). Great game, big improvement over the original in terms of gameplay. Definitely recommended.

A more than worthy sequel. Quick updated thoughts after 100% Normal. + The best map in a metroidvania. Clean with everything in the UI labelled and available without extra steps to access. Move around and zoom in/out with sticks instead of mapping those functions to buttons needlessly. Custom map markers that can all be removed at once with a button hold though with how well this map is made you don't ever need any map markers, I never used any and had clarity of layout and what was in each area. Besides fog where you have not been and grey in areas with something still to be done there's larger sections around pieces of the map that gives another layer of clarity to what sections of certain parts of the map that have not been fully explored. Every time you unlock another ability backtracking have never been this smooth, new sections to unlock for currency, path to a new area etc. and they are almost always convenient thanks to how the world is designed, you get a large scope but the feel of a much smaller map. Because the map is so well done it's combined with the world design to make exploration and backtracking feel intuitive like it's never been. + Soundtrack is excellent. It's a dark and dire world that seems to almost be out of life yet there's a yearning in the haunting melodies that creates a sensation of hope and beauty in other areas portraying a dark and depraved history or the eerie to almost invasive mechanical noises of the Biological Research Facility to the regal sounding Sorcerer's Academy. Every area has music that speaks volumes before you learn about it from the story or is simply a great piece. + Movement and combat feels tight. You have plenty of options with eight summons that each have three abilities of which you can pick four at a time to use. From standard weapon attacks to a dashing punch, bouncing saw blades, homing projectiles that fires automatically etc. Four attuner arts at a time as well that serve as an ultimate attack once you've charged them from attacking enemies. Using your jumps, dashes, abilities, arts, relics, equipment and if you choose two different parries, one from an ability with three versions and one that has many different versions from equipment it gives you a lot of options. + A ton of air mobility. Double-jump and air-dash are given early which combined with air attacks that have a short hover per attack and you get some extreme air mobility since you can renew attacks between each air action so [jump> combo> dash> combo> jump> combo> dash> combo] and there's other abilities and actions that will give you more options like Garm's Ascent which is a charged super-jump and Lunar Manifestation which is a dashing-slash that can be aimed horizontally upwards and more. + No contact damage. + There's much detail in the layered backgrounds and use of colours and effects that make the stages come to life through a variety of areas. + Dialogue and the story is paced to give enough context while quickly letting you keep exploring. + It tells you how long ago you saved when you quit. + Fast travel from anywhere and it's quick. - There's slight stutter. - Damage output felt lacking for bosses, while you die very quickly. - There's one really bad run back.

this game is similar to Ender Lilies and overall does much of the same things well but there are a couple things I want to nitpick: - The dodge animation is slower than in Ender Lilies and it looks strange. It's seems more like a float with iframes than your character actually dodging out of the way of something. I would make it faster and make it cover more distance. In fact the combat movement in general seems very slightly slower than what it was in lilies but its noticeable. - a parry type move was one of the additions to the slightly different combat system. PLEASE don't remove the original parry from Ender Lilies it was so much fun and I can't count how many times I clutched because I parried just in time. The original parry is just too satisfying to remove. - there is a lack of lore collectables that actually tell me where I am. I don't really know much about the places (other than the small town) that I explored or what it was like to be there before I showed up other than that its the lowest point of the city and that it sucks to be there. Especially the area that was used as a safe haven for runaway homunculi. Beautiful area, but I didn't know what the area was for until it was told to me near the end of the area I forgot how it's been a while. The same goes for most of the bosses I didn't really know who I was fighting either. Then again it could be like Eleine in lilies where most of her lore is discovered after you fight her. funny thing is that this game actually has an advantage over Ender lilies in the lore explanations because there are people other than the MC who are still alive. If there isn't something to read about the place, have someone say something about the place. Of course these are the first few areas so most of the world building is going to be visual. - the art seems to be slightly worse than Ender Lilies in the background. I didn't do a comparison or anything but the art in lilies is sharper in my memory whereas in magnolia its a little out of focus and has less exposure. There are multiple great shots of the background within just the EA though so its not like the art is bad or anything, in fact its good that's why I wish I could see it more clearly while i'm playing. - staggering enemies seems pretty overpowered especially against normal enemies who dont have as much stagger resistance as bosses. that's pretty much the only bad stuff I can remember. the good stuff: - The UI is better IMO and QOL changes - the soundtrack quality is consistent with lilies (obviously) - the designs of the enemy's are cooler compared with lilies imo and there is lots of potential for new designs with the industrial theme. I love Nola's design in particular she isn't an enemy but still. - I prefer having less homunculi with more unique abilities than many spirits with one ability - there are some sounds like the dodge sound that I prefer in lilies but for the most part the sound design is improved - there is a clear sense of direction for the characters being that they want to go to the top of the city. Its a small thing but I find that when there is no sense of direction in these games I find myself wandering aimlessly wondering what I'm meant to be doing. Some people prefer it that way but not me. Lilies had this problem too since I honestly forgot that my objective was to find the priestess and I thought she was dead for the majority of the game. It was so much fun that I just wanted to go to the next area even though I didn't know what I was doing though. - there is a clear antagonist in the game being that one family I forgot the name of that's oppressing the homunculi. again it's been a while. It's not like Lilies needed an antagonist because the antagonist was the blight itself in a man vs nature type scenario, but its still cool to have one in magnolia especially because there are people still alive and because humanity has a way to combat the fumes without the help of the priestess. - The art direction is solid - nice things like dialogue at respites and cosmetic options - combat animations for attacks are improved in this game and im sure there are many more nice things to say that I haven't said here
