"It’s definitely not wrong to make a Metrovania with a higher focus on exploration and platforming, but Voidwrought hurts itself by having very simple levels and barely any platforming challenges. This lack of commitment to a premise makes the game …"

"Voidwrought is a competent metroidvania with great mechanics, impactful visual and exceptional artstyle. However, the game sticks too close to its inspirations, especially Hollow Knight, and ends up easier overall, in both exploration and combat."
