To
start this off, I have a love/hate relationship with this game. On the one hand, it’s a fun, kinetic and
challenging little action/RPG hybrid. Even on
the normal difficulty, the game is extremely unforgiving with a decent learning
curve, leading to a frustrating, but rewarding experience. Top off the sleek action and presentation
with a relatively deep customization system and you’ve got one hell of a game
on your hands. I’ve played through it
about four times now and still, the game is as cathartic and interesting as
when I first booted it up. On the other
hand though, this game is a complete fucking asshole and practically goes out
of its way to ruin the legacy of a character and franchise I cared very much about.
