The visually stunning and smoothly animated game, INAYAH, offers an engaging combat and platforming experience when functioning optimally. However, beneath its flashes of brilliance and appealing aesthetics lies a game hampered by several frustrating design choices, such as progression economy, ability gating, limited environmental diversity, confusing map layout, and underwhelming boss battles. These issues, many of which are systemic, prevent INAYAH from reaching its full potential and becoming something truly exceptional. While it’s not a poorly designed game, neither does it excel in any notable way.
