I spent most of this game marvelling at its gorgeous art direction, its clever level design, and its perfect balance of challenging difficulty...until the final section.

Rarely have I had such a sudden turn from enjoyment to eye-rolling boredom. From the "Crimson Rain" section on: terrible platforming, frustrating level design, horrible balance of difficulty, unskippable dialogue (which wasn't great to begin with, to be fair), and funnelling in of a previously open and interesting structure.

I'm abandoning this game, which is a true shame. I was hooked, truly engrossed in exploring and fighting, only to be let down horribly by a final section obviously slapped together at the final hour.
