Too dark and literally repeats itself
Katamari-style gameplay is fun, but dark side of stories is unreasonable gross and morbid. There is tortured people, even children, everywhere and gore is too much even for adult if you pay any attention to it. If darkness would have been just gloomy, depressing and joyless, this would have been excellent game with enough levels to play more often than most PC-platformers. Every story starts with video of the nice version and ends with dark version. Gameplay is in between these, mainly following the nice version and showing how enviroment and characters turns dark with few lines of Grimm's commentary. After few episodes, the end videos starts to feel too pointless, you basically rewatch the story you have already played. There are also few too many technical problems. Every story is technically different program and they don't share same settings. You have to readjust resolution and sound levels dozens of times and resolution keeps resetting even if you restart the same story. Controls are simple, but there is no automatic camera and you can't remap buttons. Jump height is some times just a bit too low and causes problems with moving platforms and windy levels. You can also get stuck when game thinks you are sliding a hill but there is another object or geometry blocking your fall. Luckily levels are short so you can always restart without losing to much progress.
