After all the horrible things that happened to me this year, this game helped me a lot. It's really good, I had never played a metroidvania before, and I was able to kill all the bosses, and find all the paths. It's really really good. I really like the concept that peoples sins become personified sufferings, makes me feel that what happened to me still can face justice. I really like this game so much.

This game was extremely frustrating at first, but then I became obsessed with completing 100% of it.

Questionable design choices. I can only assume that the designer(s) intent was to create a "skill" based game, but it quickly devolves into monotonous and tedious game play. Why? Because every interaction is carefully crafted, yet constricts as there is rarely anyway to approach the situation differently. This design philosophy is found through out all aspects of the game. Expressiveness in the combat is essentially non-existent. A player starts to grok the game play and can't but help put it down. Worse yet this isn't a game one can put down and revisit because the restrictive nature necessitates memorization to confront each of its challenges. I stopped playing for a week only to be met with what I can only describe as one of the most frustrating play experiences I have ever encountered in a game.
