Convergence is a 2D metroidvania platformer that follows an original story of Ekko from the League of Legends Runeterra universe, as he tries to defend his people and the cities of Zaun and Piltover from destruction. The highlights of Convergence are the tight controls, good platforming, and tie-in with League of Legends lore.
The story is original and reasonably interesting, incorporating pieces of Ekko's character in the city of Zaun. This leads him to interact with and fight a number of other names recognized from League of Legends and Arcane, as well as new characters and enemies. Overall, the story and writing are about average, and worth paying attention to, but often somewhat monotonous and predictable. The most interesting piece of Convergence's story is the fact that this fits into the larger League of Legends cannon, and helps fill in gaps in the existing lore.
As for the metroidvania-platformer gameplay piece of Convergence, movement and controls are of upmost importance to me. In this sense, Convergence is great and feels very good to play. While Ekko's movement is not as precise as dedicated platformers, and not as satisfying as dedicated fighting games, Convergence finds a good middle ground that makes movement generally feel intentional and effective.
The defining newly introduced mechanic to the metroidvania genre is the ability to rewind time. In theory, this allows you to experience what will happen in a fight, go back in time, and change your actions based on this new knowledge. In practice, rewind charges feel a lot more like health points and aren't executed quite as effectively as I would have hoped, though is incorporated well enough with the other mechanics as to not detract from the gameplay.
As for boss fights, most are relatively simple, with a couple end-game exceptions. I was reasonably satisfied with the bosses, though I think the difficulty ramp could have been spread throughout the game better, however perhaps I should have chosen an increased difficulty to begin with.
Overall, I would say Convergence is a worthwhile experience, particularly for those that enjoy metroidvanias and the league of legends universe. I don't believe it's quite worth full price however, and would recommend waiting for a sale to purchase.
