I found the first 2/3 of the game strong. The world was small enough that figuring out the map wasn't too hard at first, the combat was starting to click and the platforming was the right amount of challenge. Then the rest of the game happened. Some battles started becoming tedious rather than fun, some of the platforming sections felt that way as well, and there's a section of the map that has you navigating in near darkness and it's just not enjoyable. Not to mention the ending I got felt a bit anti-climactic. It really tanks the experience, but I thoroughly enjoyed so much of it leading up to it. It's a solid game overall and I'm glad I played it.
