I think this could have been quite a bit better if it weren't for some odd design choices. The level design in particular is a sore spot with numerous ways being blocked off without an interesting way around them. It started to turn into a nuisance and made exploration annoying.

You also do not receive a few basic traversal/combat skills until later in the game. The sort of skills that games usually give you the ability to do from the start.

It started out well but it just got worse the more I played and I just wanted to finish it as quickly as possible. I suppose the best I can say is that the combat itself was decent enough to make me want to power through and beat it.
