On a technical level, Biomorph excels with controls that always feel crisp and responsive, matching its thoughtful and precise platforming design. Whenever failure was encountered, it was always due to a personal failure of skill rather than a rough design choice on the game's part. Biomorph gets the fundamentals of a 2D Metroidvania right, which is great because it does a lot of the heavy lifting for a game that often seems to lose focus as it grows in scale.","https:\u002F\u002Fgamerant.com\u002F\u002Fbiomorph-review\u002F","7",70,{"id":91,"author":92,"outlet":95,"summary":100,"review_url":101,"review_date":102,"original_score":103,"normalized_score":89},152650,{"id":93,"name":94},4540,"Bex Prouse",{"id":96,"logo":97,"name":98,"website_url":99,"score_format":43},45,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameGrin%20Logo.png","GameGrin","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamegrin.com\u002F","While I enjoy the characters and animation, BIOMORPH doesn’t bring many new elements to the metroidvania genre.
