If Overgrowth worked for you because of punishing difficulty, melee combat and fantasy world, the same is here. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and co-op play. Where the two diverge is visuals and tone: strong narrative focus and 2D presentation.

On paper it is what Overgrowth is — punishing difficulty, melee combat and single-player focus — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. The common ground extends to a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is setting and game mode: a cyberpunk setting and a top-down view.
