What players say
The art direction and soundtrack in this game are fantastic. The world is stunning and sounds beautiful. Most of the platforming challenges are pretty fun! Unfortunately, I have a few gripes that make me not want to recommend this game. For a $30 game, the gameplay is ridiculously unpolished, and the level design does leave something to be desired. The control scheme is pretty unintuitive and takes a while to get...

The ending is really bad. I beat three of the chasing levels. In the fourth I just went out of patience. It has however very beautiful graphics.
I have never been more ridiculously frustrated with a game before, specially to the point of tears. While the graphics, music and overall atmosphere of the game were beautiful, the gameplay itself did not make for a good experience. The controls were finicky, the margin for error was basically nonexistent, and the ending chase sequence had me contemplating murder.
