The Real Review

Most people digging into Mina the Hollower are enjoying this nostalgic, top-down action-adventure, praising its sharp 8-bit aesthetic and whipping combat. The big sticking point is the difficulty, which many find punishingly high, though the pixel-perfect world design, fantastic music, and clever trinket system are huge highlights. The developer's reputation got a lot of mixed chatter, and performance issues came up enough to be a real concern for some players, but the core experience is largely delivering on its promise.
