Dec. 2024
"Primal Light" is a great old-school action-platformer by only two devs and a sincere bow to the classics. The pixel-art is gorgeous, the sound is very atmospheric, the worldbuilding is bizarrely-stylish and raw, gameplay is smooth and the level-design is solid. Bosses felt also good. Some enemy- and trap-placement can get a little gnarly, but that is to be expected if you really want to emulate the genre feel. Overall it really is not that difficult, even on "Hardcore" if you played these games before. But hey, you can NG+ the game multiple times if thats your thing. The only caveat was that I could not equip the charms until I mashed keys on them, which was bizarrely off (but a thing, if you look up the community hub???). Also the ladder climbing-animation is a little derpy, but thats a minor gripe. A solid recommendation for every genre fan!

Feels like a really good SNES platformer lost to time. Very short though (2.5 hours). Sound & visuals were great. The game has multiple New Game+ that apparently increases things like the amount of enemies, but I have not tried this yet.
