Xenia (PC) : Game Review
Nobody likes the petty online guru who’s obsessed with the correcting of everyone. The people are particularly irritated when this guy pops up and tells anyone that a media item doesn’t belong into a specific category. I’m not this person, but if the game is described as being part of a certain genre, I would hope it plays according to the category.
For example, Xenia’s Steam page promotes it as the “Metroidvania” title. This usually means that the game is a platformer that has an unlinear layout and inaccessible sections of a map which you can traverse after you’ve mastered a new ability or item. This time, however the game being played provides your typical linear, level-by-level hack and shred platformer experience with no connected passageways or any new skills to unlock.
