“I really want to rate this game higher, It's beautiful and I love the concept. But it's just too clunky. Died 5 times before I even managed to find the elder, due to getting randomly moved to the side, off a cliff, into water, to my death.”
“Didn't take long at all to get a feel for the game's movement and combat - and realize that I didn't like how it felt.”
