Yeah, this ain't it chief. Terrible controls, a very dumb storyline, and confounding gameplay decisions make this game just a chore to play.
I played for two hours straight trying to find a save spot so I could go to bed, only to find out you can't save in this game. You have to play through the entire game in one sitting. I don't know whose idea that was, but I hate it. I ended up just closing the game and going and watching a playthrough on youtube of someone who knew what they were doing, because I wasn't going to sit for six hours trying to fumble through it on my own.
I honestly don't even remember anything about the characters and I just played it, that's how boring they are. This is definitely not one in the series you need to bother going back and visiting.
