A Golden Egg Covered in Thorns I feel like Magenta Horizon could've had closer popularity to other indie greats like Ultrakill if it was handled just a bit differently. The game doesn't do the best job at putting its best foot forward, especially if you aren't willing to meet it on its own terms. However, I promise that if you do like character action games, this game is a golden egg underneath its sharp outer surface. I keep finding new ways to improve and experiment with Gretel's moveset (I didn't know for about 26 hours how useful altering the trajectory of your ranged weapons was, some even have unique 'modes' that the game doesn't tell you about! I recommend trying inputing up, down and back with your ranged weapons in training mode to see what's possible!). I haven't even really explored the hollow-knight esque charm system that much and I'm curious to see how my playstyle is going to evolve as I improve - maybe I'll opt for some of the riskier charms that offer good rewards for skilled play eventually? Or maybe I'll try a build more focused on melee charged attacks? There's plenty of potential build variety in that regard! I'll update this review again in the future, but these are just my initial thoughts. :> Happy hunting everyone!

Make no mistake, this is very much a game designed for freaks who are into this kinda stuff BUT not only is this a glowing praise but also the game does the best it can to enable you to be that kind of freak. If you're worried about the difficulty comments in other reviews, fret not, the game has difficulty settings and upgrades that offset the difficulty and let you get through some more problematic encounters. At the end of the day though, I absolutely recommend you give the game a try and get into the flow of things to get the most out of it. Not to mention the immense satisfaction of getting the long streaks of hits through a combination of good movement, item usage and combos. If you're hesitating to dip your toes or fell off the game early on give it a try! There's genuinely so much to love about this game on top of just the well-crafted gameplay loop. The Art impressed me the most with how vibrant and wacky this interpretation of The Purgatory was exectued, some fun character ideas and solid story beats deserve praise as well! If you enjoyed games like ULTRAKILL, Bayonetta, Neon White or Hollow Knight (combat-wise especially) don't sleep on this one! You just might find a real hidden gem that seriously deserves the recognition.
