Boss Rush Mythology Review Cons:

Uses all the jargon you only usually hear from speed runners as I frame.
The input delay is slight but noticeable.
Broken English and grammar in places.
Unsatisfying victory screen.
Grabbing onto ledges is weird as it’s more a case of hanging onto the middle of the platform rather than the ledge.
Cheap combat tactics.
No online interactions.
The music isn’t that great.
The tutorial is very basic.
Boring trophy list.
