This game probably had the biggest learning curve I've ever experienced. Definitely one of the hardest games I've ever played, and the challenge makes it all worth it. Takes all aspects of things I usually enjoy in games and flips it on it's head. Comfy controls? Nope. Slick combat? Nope. No quest markers, no explanation to what's happening or where you are. You just have to figure it out. This is what makes the game so great though. There's absolutely no hand holding. So while there's little reward and great punishment, those little rewards are so worth it. There's just something so unspeakably retro about this game's design, but on top of that is the gorgeous visuals, and addicting physics system that makes every combat encounter interesting.
