Sarcasm? It looks awful. I was able to enjoy it after forcing my eyes to glaze over all the visual problems. Perhaps I could blame the director for the lack of cohesive artistic direction, but that was Iga's choice, just like referencing outside games and anime.
I also am not impressed with Iga's childish hate-boner for Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. He's been open about thinking it's a mockery of the franchise, yet he took the innovations it laid out with no qualms. He went out of his way to subtitle his Bloodstained spinoff Circle of the Moon just to try to override the title relevance. Really makes me want to see the Circle of the Moon guys come back and btfo Iga with innovations again.
To Iga's credit, though, I have loved many of his games.

I think you'll find those philosophies were first laid down in Super Metroid.
Also you forgot the best one, Order of Ecclesia.
