Meditative gameplay
As a proof of concept this game is very well done, however it lacks polish, patches (from console version) and DLC (also from console version). The traversal is quite relaxing, never challenging, but quite frustrating on few occasions. The most of these frustrations are because of the delay of your actions being performed by the Prince, it takes a while for him to start running and other actions too. The worst of these is probably pole climbing as you cannot ascend or descend while changing direction, which you could in the previous games. The second worst are probably the vines, after you get on them you have to wait for Elika to reach you, at which point she jumps on your back, this gets less annoying over time as it's one of the ways Prince and Elika connect. Actions which were not performed are usually stored in a queue, which is good and bad. The combat could've flown together really well, if it wasn't for the QTEs during bossfights, which sometimes just don't stop, stopping you from getting to the actual combat of flowing through combos and parrying. The arena's end corners function as activation points for enviromental attacks, which for bosses means, that they'll either teleport back, when it's corruption or you get to throw them back in the middle, when it's not corruption. These do trigger even if you're in air doing combos, this frequently interrupts the combos, because the arenas are relatively small. QTEs, enviromental attacks and attack range are probably my only and biggest complains about combat. The story isn't the best, but the storytelling is well done and interacting with Elika is well executed. As character Elika can be interesting, it's just that she is also used as a wiki for exposition, which always kills her personality. Overall gameplay is too restrictive with its mechanics leading to some frustration, but it's permissive enough for it to be fun. I recommend that you get hotkeys for rapidly pressing keys for the fullest enjoyment.
