Such a shame
Everything that's good in this game (and there's actually a lot of goodness in it) is destroyed by terrible controls that can't be personalised. I tried keyboard and decided to give it up after few hours...

A lot of flash, but little impact.
Narita Boy has a certain flare. I will give it that. When it is not trying too hard to be dark and edgy by showing scenes of torture, mutilated characters, and using crucified characters as barrier style enemies, the bright colors and dramatic set pieces of the game are outstanding. The music is pretty solid, so I have no complaints there. The game play is where things suffer. The controls are too loose, and the platforming aspects of the game are wonky. The enemies are not overly challenging, but have a tendency to land cheap shots. There are some really strange design choices, such as puddles suddenly becoming dangerous for nonsensical reasons. There was an early forest section I was looking forward to because it seemed to promise something different and new. However, after gathering all the needed items and skills to access the area, it turned out to be not much more than a walk through cinematic and the power that I had worked for would not be used again or even mentioned. That same cycle of buildup and disappointment permeated my whole time with the game. About the time that I thought the effort of chasing down yet another string of irritating sections with copious backtracking to get all the keys needed to get a MacGuffin that I thought would open up a creative and interesting part, the game disappointed me. After reading all the glowing reviews for this game, I felt like I had been a victim of a bait and switch. While the game is not horrible, I do not feel the experience of playing it was worth the money or my time.

Love it
Really dig the atmosphere, music and overall gameplay. Story also, it’s an emotional experience. Highly recommended.

Not my cup of tea......
It's stylish for sure, and surreal, maybe too surreal as sometimes it comes across as a big pile of Matrixesqe hooey. But it's a platformer. And a difficult, awkward and frustrating one at that. Such games are not my thing. But if they are yours then go for it. I only acquired it due to it being on a free offer. I'd never pay for a game like this in a million. Especially not £20! It is NOT worth that. It has it's qualities for sure, but they are sadly lost on me. Hardcore platformer fans only need apply.
