I cannot, in earnest, recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable title.

Although it offers an excellent artistic direction and overall interesting design, unfortunately, all of the positives are completely offset by the intensely horrible feeling you get from actually playing it. From horrendous map sections which can absolutely trap you in for a lengthy span of time, to the even worse back tracking for half an hour to sit down and refresh, the place feels tedious to explore and map out.
The enemies are not much better, and provide more infuriating moments than satisfying ones, whether it be due to their placement or AI. Never once has it been satisfactory to crumple a boss, more just slightly relieving since now i wont have to walk myself back from 8 screens over.

All in all, play if you REALLY want to experience it, otherwise - i don't have much to praise it for besides the artistic side, which was done really well.
