What players say
9/10 This game is very nice both visually and by its portal using mechanics to get around levels. It is also very friendly to players who (like me) do not play a lot of platformers. Sadly at the end difficulty spikes way too far, so even if i managed to beat the last boss, it was impossible for me to fully finish all side quests.
Very nice game. Hard but a decent difficulty level. Not hard enough to make you give up. I always struggle with these kind og games. I feel proud I could beat it :))))
I am surprised that the game is fun without "weapons". Sometimes very hard, but quite satisfying in the end.
