Yeah it may depend what you’re after. I always use it for illustrations/paintings, sometimes anime but other times for artwork, concept art, landscapes in different painted styles and it works really well for that
I don’t think Dead Cells is the right comparison. The only real similarity is they’re 2D metroidvanias. But Dead Cells is a procedurally generated roguelike, PoP isn’t. It’s closer to Metroid Dread. All the previews I’ve seen say the combat is actually very in-depth with numerous combos, powerups and weapons, and sometimes comes closer to a character action game!
