Between the jumping and dying there is a sliver of a game

This game consist out of jumping. Just plain jump sequences that go on and on forever. between those some nice combat and great graphics. Jumping over and over again just kill everything else. And I mean over and over again.

Example: jump on floating plates in a river of lava. plates move away from target. after about a dozen attempt I came close. a little clip, and do it over again.

After about 40 attempts I came close again. It took me 2.5 hours to get it right. moments later the next sequence comes around the corner. No saves, and when you miss a jump you have to do it all over. When you die in a levelboss fight after a difficult jump serie, you must do the whole level again.

That is so annoying that it kills the game. A shame. the game has so much beauty in the graphics and setting.

It could have been a 90 game if half the jumps were cut, a quick save game is introduced, and the combat better balanced.
