Review

Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is an exquisite journey through an enchanting, hand-drawn world inspired by Japanese folklore. The game's visual artistry is nothing short of breathtaking, with each frame meticulously crafted to immerse players in a vibrant 2.5D landscape. The acrobatic aerial combat is not only fluid but immensely satisfying, allowing for a diverse range of mystical abilities to be unlocked and mastered. However, the game does present some occasional difficulty spikes that can be frustrating and the checkpoint system could use some refinement. Additionally, while the enemy design is creative, encounters can feel repetitive at times. Despite these minor drawbacks, Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus offers a beautifully narrated mythology-based adventure that is hard to put down.
