Cons:
- Really dark, with no options for brightness and it makes the initial interactions a right pain.
- No voice work just walls of text-based conversation.
- Levels go on far too long.
- Loads of text pop up and small text to read.
- Don’t actually feel like you know what you are doing.
- Aiming is messy and hard to get the job done.
- They repeat tilesets so often.
- Very neon and it’s hard to see enemies.
- The slowdown in places.
- Loads of teleports to other areas and mini-games with little explanation.
- The skill tree is very basic, not broken down, and accessible.
- Can’t slide down a wall, we’ll you do but it’s so slow.
- A small pool of enemies.
- Basic platforming.
- Can’t look down a screen meaning some parts involve a leap of faith.
