Such a fun game. Its gives me that fun classic adventure game vibes that I love in Zelda or Metroid. Plus its a soul like game were I change the difficulty on the fly.
I know a lot gamers will scream "beating X game on shit your pants difficulty. That's the real game!" Yeah that's cool and play on bro; but player choice and play style matter so much more. Story mode and Hard mode can both exist and neither of them could/should overtake the player experience.
