00:00Yes, Mina the Hollower is a love letter to Game Boy Zelda titles, but it's also a 2D
00:05Souls-like, a top-down Castlevania and somehow something all on its own. You can probably
00:11find a precedent for every mechanic here, to the point where it's almost impossible to discuss
00:16Mina the Hollower without invoking other games, but it manages to avoid feeling derivative by
00:21offering a tremendous amount of choice and variety in how you engage with those systems.
00:26It features a vast array of items and weapons that let you build your own playstyle, familiar ideas
00:32remixed in fresh ways, meaty challenges without overwhelming difficulty, and plenty of reasons
00:37to come back for more. However, the challenge level might put off fans looking for a Zelda-like.
00:43Mina the Hollower is one of the best indie games I've played in a long, long time. It borrows familiar
00:50ideas, yet offers endless choice and variety in how you carve your way through its world.
00:55It's an uncommon tribute to classic games that often surpasses the quality of the titles that inspired it.
