The Real Review

Mina the Hollower is a modern Game Boy Color inspired action adventure, and the whip and burrow combat is what people are mostly enjoying. The pixel art is the standout, the soundtrack gets a lot of love, and the top down adventuring feels sharp enough that many players say it is worth the money. The real friction is difficulty, which comes up as brutal in ways that turn some people off. A smaller group also hit performance issues, and the Yacht Club Games name brings some skeptical chatter, but the overall read is positive. If you want deliberate 60fps nostalgia and can handle a punishing edge, this one lands.
