This is currently on gamepass and I downloaded it on a whim (i'm a sucker for a metroidvania) and it's turning out to be a lot of fun.
You traverse the world, complete with minimap that fills in as you discover new areas. While you're in the world, you have a pet companion that can access hidden areas via flight, corresponding orbs, or slashing walls.
On top of that is the turn based combat with your monster battling other monsters, which you collect after you defeat them. Each monster has their own multi level tree you can dump points into as seen below for just 1 monster:

So far the story has been pretty blah - there's something cool there about a character that is not a master at his job which is interesting, but overall meh. Also there are random battles in the world which occur about every 3-4 screens and can get kind of annoying since the fast track system isn't the best. But that's really it, otherwise i'm loving this game!
