What players say
restart from beginning. no good way to quickly get back at where you were. specific sequences of inputs in "area"-specific rng events required for achievements. little control on how long you can stay in an "area". trying to get 100% on this thing is an woeful endeavour, specially on the last story. this is not a game that respects your time at all
