On the whole this is a reasonably good game which unfortunately was prevented from being a true classic by some rather stupid design decisions. Why do you have to press the E key repeatedly to get Elika to heal the Fertile grounds? There's no challenge at that point, why should I have to wear out the keys on keyboard instead of just pressing it once? Why does the section where you have to carry Elika literally consist of about a minute of the player only pressing the W key? Why did no one point out that having combat that almost entirely consists of quicktime events is boring but that in cases where you have a very small platform to fight on, you'll trigger them every few hits? These are minor complaints that sum up the whole game for me. Throughout the game I was left wondering who thought this decision was a good idea. The gameplay feels unpolished, which is a pity because it seems like a lot of time was spent on everything else.
