There's only a couple of things I don't really like about the game...
The amount of grinding required near the end of it, the fact that you HAVE to have some sort of ranged damage ability at some point or you can't progress, and the fact that skill resets are few and far between.

Also not enough skill points per level for my taste, but that's just a personal gripe.

Other than that, I own and love the game to death.
I still haven't beaten it, though; gotta grind a while longer to earn SP for that "reveal invisible" spell, or I'm just going to keep running into invisible jerks that steal my stuff!XD

No mention of Dead Cells? Got that game recently and it's freaking awesome!

I would absolutely include Yoku's Island Adventure on this list. It's different, but the same basic concept of get new item or ability, progress to areas previously unavailable
