When I first started playing this game, I was really confused about the story. I didn't really know what was going, but I kept pushing forward because I liked the combat. Eventually I started getting attached to the story and characters and realized that there was something deeper to be found.
This game is the very definition of "doing a lot with so little"
The Pros:
- One of the best video game soundtracks of all time
- The story is deep, confusing but ultimately rewarding.. You don't find games with such deep thoughts on what it means to be alive.
- The combat is very fun to play and feels very fluid
- The character/NPC dialogue is great and very well-thought-out..
The cons:
- The game is repetitive
- There are no teleports
- Story B/C/D are just new game +with new cutscenes and a few additional levels or bosses
Only after finishing the game did I realize the scale of what I had just played. This game has flaws but for what it delivers, I consider it a masterpiece!
