Tedious, aggravating platforming elements ruin an otherwise interesting game experience. Good narrative, well-developed characters I cared about, and a fascinating space environment (including piloting a spacecraft - which I really enjoyed) could not compensate for the repetitive, horrendous platform elements. After 11 hours with the game I was forced to stop playing because all of the fun was sucked out of it by having to yet again, for what felt like the millionth time, do the same type of tedious and very unforgiving climbing and jumping platforming element that I had been agitated by so many times before in the game. While I may be biased because platforming is probably my least favorite aspect of games, I've played a lot of platformers that mix up the type of platforming activities you are doing, making them far less boring to execute. As much as I had been enjoying this game, and as much as I wanted to see the conclusion of the story, I just couldn't bear the negative feelings I was having playing that grew with each chapter as I was repeating the same boring and aggravating mechanics over and over. Very disappointing as a great concept that could have been such a great game if the levels had been designed differently.
