Finished up Derelict Star recently, really enjoyed it despite not being much of a 'precision platformer' player. From the rave reviews I went in expecting good level design and an expressive moveset, but I was still surprised by the sprawling size, existential mood, and awesome soundtrack.

I was also very pleasantly surprised by the accessibility features. I haven't seen many games like this that are this customizable. Just at the point where I was losing steam, I started using the 'infinite checkpoints' feature, which meant I could break up gauntlets of hard jumps to do piecemeal.

I was also pretty blown away by the in-game documentation / hint system, which fully documents how all the game's mechanics work. I've maybe seen this sort of thing in 'menu games', but I don't think I've ever seen an action-y title that contains its own detailed FAQ like this. So cool!
