tentative but enthusiastic recommendation as I haven't finished it but have loved what I've played thus far. Insofar as I have experienced the story (just got to expired grove) it is fundamentally anticrabitalist.
gameplay loop is fun, the combat and movement feels really polished, the dialogue and bits have been consistently good (gotten a few good chuckles outta me), has good accessibility options for if soulslikes aren't your wheelhouse and it's the only real souls-adjacent game with an arthropod protagonist (silksong literally never)

Saw NL play it and it looked pretty cool, didn't know it was made by Aggro Crab so I guess I have to play it now
