On the water
Another fine example of game developers almost making it but messing up in the end. A world drowned by water and endangered by gloom (a kind of dark mist) that spwans monsters. And a girl that can walk on water ready to fight back. Characters are funnay, grumpy, sometimes surprisingly deep and insightful and sometimes just weird - a nice balance. They each have their agenda and goals which not always align. The visual style may not be for everyone but I like it. Overall, the graphics are pretty good and run smooth, given at what speeds you can move in-game. It's all fine and dandy so far, but the execaution part is where it all falls apart. First, you can't save the game, it's only saved at some predefined points, so be prepared to redo possibly hours of gameplay. Second, the platforming is way too much. And I do mean WAY too much. Half of it would be more than enough. There are several instances of jumping puzzles where the developers just messed up. Yes, technically they can be done, I've witnessed it myself (live, not in video), but you either need to put it hourse or even days of grueling repetitions (remember - no saving, so you always have to replay to that point) until you happen to manage it or you need the reflexes of an hyper-active eight year old. Sorry, nope. Not all jumping puzzles are like this, only a few, but they are hard blockers and it's obvious the developers did'nt bother testing it. As the first instance is not so far into the game, many reviewers, I guess, only played a little bit of the game and gave their opinion without going further. So, either don't buy it or try to get your money back. Sadly, this happens more and more with many new games and only if enough people reclaim their money, the developers will feel in their empty wallets that they did something wrong and maybe then things will change.
