It's been a year since I've played this game. Even still, my very clear memory is that this is a very frustrating game for several hours. The platforming is awful at first. The enemies are very obtuse at first. But! If you put in the time and patience and effort, I think you will, like me, get to a game that is really really incredible. This is one of those games where I'm glad I got the first playthrough done with, because my upcoming playthrough is going to be very enjoyable, now that I know how the enemies work, how the systems work, how the platforming works. It's...frustrating reading the negative reviews of this game. It's frustrating because their irritation and frustration is very understandable. I strongly believe, though, that if you give it some time, and if you compromise with it, agree to meet it halfway, you'll find a very great, clever, and super enjoyable game. Be patient and you may, like me, find one of your very favorite games of all time.
