Back in the day people hated the fact that we had a new character and that the game was focused on traveling through levels, as opposed as the action focused exploration of the sands of time trilogy. Yeah I was one of them. Looking back, I see this game more fondly now for what it brings on its art direction and music, and how charming is the relation and banter between Elika and the main character throughout, from distrust to genuine care by the end, with a game having a beautifully bitersweet ending. DLC ruined it, but thats another story entirely and its not present on this release, probably for the best. Traverse large enviroments, watch two people grow closer and listen to beautiful music while at it, that's what this game is all about for me.
