MIO: Memories In Orbit is an uneven yet compelling experience, swinging between genuine engagement and notable frustration. Excessive backtracking and unclear design choices test patience, but a strong artistic direction and striking visual identity often make up for the rough edges. It doesn’t hold the player’s hand, yet its demanding nature delivers real satisfaction, making it a worthwhile metroidvania for those who appreciate challenge and imperfection.
