i absolutely lov this game!!!
some of the fire puzzles made me feel smart, others made me rage, i call it balance lol
looks great, plays... less great, combat's stiff, story barely there, and it ends just when you think its about to start, waste of potential
this coulda been a banger but it ended before it even got interesting
not bad, just feels like the intro to a bigger game that never got made
5/10 on a good day

Similars:
