Not at all what I expected.
I really enjoyed the dialogue and felt pressured to make the right decisions.
Voice acting is also really good. Interesting story, way creepier that I thought. Was definitely exciting for me, but after a while I was no longer afraid. The major role in being creepy was the amazing audio design, really added to atmosphere of the game, considering it’s a sidescroller.
Also pretty good ending!
There are however some gaps in the dialogue. Sometimes it’s not exactly what you would expect a character to say in such situations. Or for example the characters not talking enough about what happened to them, right after a situation.

I definitely respect this game having come out in 2012 and having a lot of artistic elements, and having innovative yet familiar aspects of game design.
How his was one of the most painful experiences I had with puzzle games and platformers. Maybe I am not into puzzle games, however some stuff here was way too dark, hard and annoying to me.
Honestly I had to force myself many times to try and finish this game, I suppose I am a bit dumb for some of these things, but I really don't like puzzles that require too much timing, and the game felt like it was all about timing and repetition.

Game is really beautiful.
Had to really pull some motivation to finish the game.
This is by far the best Harry Potter universe game there is. Graphics are amazing, combat system is really good.
However the story felt quite bland. The beginning was really exciting, midway through the game it all feels the same and it is quite repetitive, however I am glad I finished. Since the end really brings it back up, even finishing all the side quests was really good, prob better than the main quest in some ways.

This game was good, however not as good as the first one.
I encountered way more bugs than the first one, and the story in itself was way shorter. For the story, it was interesting to see Miles becoming a better spider-am and see his struggles.
Yet Phin's rage felt that it was just made for plot reasons. Hard to see such a character developing into being full of rage and the main antagonist (And then saving everyone at the end?). Just felt like we never got even attached to the character.
However the abilities and gameplay were on point as always, it was a lot of fun to have the invisibility too.

I love the art style, the cult idea is also unique and quite humorous.
I love that you can feed poop to your followers!
However, the game loop is weird. You have to balance between managing your cult and fighting, I suppose it is better than a time system though.
Managing the cult is fun, however, the building mechanic is weird. The grid system is off and is not really enjoyable.
The combat is fine, dodging is op. I do think the weapons are a bit boring and always the same, they are not unique. The whole thing of clearing 4 bosses is extremely repetitive as well, you know exactly what is going to happen and feels boring.

This was a great introduction to the genre! I really loved how this game is dead simple to start.
I love the setting of the game and wish there was somehow a sequel that was a bit more challenging.
Overall the game was great, it was however quite easy to beat the campaign. It was a good introduction, however, I wish it became a bit harder

This game was amazing! Definitely recommend it to platformer lovers. I really loved the progression and mastering of the game. The flow of the game was so perfect as well. I loved just going around and using everything I learned.
The art is excellent, the mix of 2D and 3D is so hard to get right, and this game nailed it exceptionally well! A must play in my opinion
463 deaths overall, yikes

This game is insanely good! Still holds up, it feels like a must-play for everyone. I felt like the level design could be confusing sometimes, and amazing at the same time.
I don't have many bad things to talk about this game, the more I played the more surprised I got with how ahead of the time this game is. Still can't believe it came out in 2004
