PoP: The Lost Crown is phenomenal despite my small complaints of puzzles sometimes feeling a bit disjointed, the music lacking flavour, and missing an opportunity to explore their characters a bit further; which admittedly isn't typical for a metroidvania I know but who's to say you can't buck trends. However the respect shown for Persian mythology, plethora of meaningful abilities, art direction, interesting npc's, joyfully unique enemy types, puzzles and parkour... this game is absolutely dripping with charm!
