I picked this one up on the PS4 for three dollars. I was just looking for a simple short retro 2D side scroller that I could complete in about ten hours. Turns out Cathedral is quite a bit more than that. I played it for a few hours and while I do think the game is alright, I don't think it really does that much to stand out from the dozens of other 2D metroidvania games. The game just drops you in immeaditly with no explanation. I could see myself maybe growing to like it but it became clear fast that this is the type of game where it is very easy to get lost fast. I was a couple of hours in and felt like I had explored every area and I still didn't know where to go. I wasn't in the mood for this style of game and really just wanted to try something on the cheap before a bigger game I wanted to play would come out.
