What players say
Players describe this as a short, brutally difficult cinematic platformer with a great atmosphere and music, but nearly universal complaints about clunky, animation-locked controls that make precision frustrating. Reviews are split on whether the challenge is rewarding or ruined by technical issues like enemies vanishing mid-attack and a lack of checkpoints.
