What a sheer disappointment. You played and enjoyed the demo? Well, it doesn't get any better than that. It starts off good. You creep around, eat some folks, get some new skills which eventually open new paths and all that is pretty damn good for the first half an hour or so. You might even start to think that it might have some fairly decent Metroidvania vibes. Then it begins to get boring. You realsize that there are almost no puzzles, there's almost no backtracking, even some considerable Metroidvania spirit is gone. You just follow the one straight path that's possible to go. Push a button here, open the next door for the next path and so on ad nauseam. You'll end up just rushing from one objective to the next. You'll just play further, waiting for the game to get good again, to be that great experience you hoped it would be, what the demo teased to make you think what kind of game this is going to be. But it won't get there. You'll reach the end of what the demo gave you and than just abandon you for another 2 hours clicking through your ways. Only real choice you make is in with order you'll go and clean the rooms. Sometimes you'll might have to push more than one button to get to the next area, but it's only a question of which room you'll take on first, you'll go to all of them anyways. Well to be fair, there are some "upgrades" you can get. But most of them are on your way anyways, and if not, well it's not that big deal to get them, most notably you won't need them or they'd make any big difference. Oh well and than it's just *poof* and you finished the game before it even started. Gameplay has nothing more to offer than you'll see in the demo. Might get one or to "heavier" enemies but that's it. I really really want to love this game. It is such a great idea. And it worked very well in the demo and it has this awesome retro looks! But in the end that is not enough to finally give you more than this few minutes the demo had.
