This game has some serious problems. The balance is off in the beginning, and there's several points that have terrible conveyance, especially near the start (where do I go, what do I do?). The inventory / shop system is really clunky, and take an unnecessary amount of time to do simple things.
...And yet, in spite of it's glaring issues, I adore this game. It's unique and has incredible atmosphere, surprisingly epic and horrendously dark sometimes. It's a game that started off feeling like a chore, and the longer you play it the more and more it grows on you, until it finally ends, and you're not ready to say goodbye. Personally, I found that, in the end, the masterful elements make up for some of its clunkiness, and in some ways, the clunkiness may be part of the charm.
