I'm about halfway through and couldn't resist leaving some comment now cause this game is a freaking marvel.
When the game started I just sat and stared at Eshe standing there for a few minutes cause the art is so good that I thought it was a cutscene. The game controls like a dream, and it solidly filled the metroidvania shaped hole left after I'd finished Hollow Knight.
It turns out the true elder beings deserving of out worship were the animators all along.
