Game play is slow, frustrating and often boring. There is no way to skip the 30 seconds of credits on game start up, or any of the abundant cutscenes. When you start a new game you have to sit through a 5 minute long cutscene, regardless of whether it's your first play through or 100th. Game save is "automatic" which translates into only being able to actually save the game at the start of a chapter, so unless you have enough time to play through a chapter, all progress is lost. The combat system is clunky and non-intuitive, and there is no way to test a control setup, or practice. Game play is about evenly split between combat, goofy "find the pattern" puzzles and un-skipable cutscenes, which means you spend a large portion of your time waiting for a chance to play. I wanted to like this game, but...
