because of all the praise it gets, i tried to stick with this game for as much as i could, but i guess it's not for me. Even though i generally like metroidvanias, i did not enjoy this game exploration: i think the map is too big, and the worse thing, the rewards for exploring are just not interesting. The combat is not challenging enough for you to crave the next "expand your health" upgrade or the amulets that give you a boost on combat. Most of the times that i have back-tracked to a spot i can finally reach!! with my new time power!!! have just not been worth it.
