What players say

Looks and feels impressive after playing first 2 installments of the series, but this feeling doesn't last for long. Most important face buttons inputs (jump and dodge) pretty often do not register. There are other instances of issues with input queue (if game has one in the first place) and / or action prioritization, like bow shot doesn't go through after landing on the ground or right after melee attack hit...

The design decision to make spikes an instant death and placing them randomly in unlit areas was a bad decision. A very bad one. Without it I would recommend this game, but you've wasted far more than you deserve to of mine and others' time out of spite for your players.
