Broken Game that Makes an Unforgettable Impression
I have always been torn over this game as it is so memorable yet so full of flaws. The combat and puzzles are absurd, so I recommend putting the game on the easiest difficulty to allow yourself to focus on enjoying the fantastic atmosphere, subtle yet gripping story, and one of the all-time great soundtracks (both music and sound effects). While there's a lot of fun to be had in this game, be prepared to be frustrated at times and don't be ashamed to pull up a FAQ if you get slowed down. Trying to mash the X button endlessly to try and pick up unseen items is not my idea of fun. For fear of ruining the story, let me just say that this game has left an unforgettable impression on me and that anyone with the patience to endure the rest of the game has a lot to look forward to.
