What we like:
  • Great graphics and artistic design
  • Challenging and rewarding combat
  • Immersive and gruesome enemy character design
What could be improved:
  • Obscure and difficult progression
  • Hieroglyphic map design
  • Unpractical fast travel system
  • Alleviating penalty for dying required to hunt out each individual location at which you died and recover all of your corpses
