Certainly a handsome game.

The binaural work is also quite effective.

There's something about the combat in this game that feels really good despite being incredibly basic.

Also the voices trip over themselves sometimes to give you warnings but it never seems like its in time to actually help you and that's a fun trick.

Only watched the first 10 minutes of Brad's Quick Look and i already knew this game was for me. Immediately bought it and came close to finishing it and then this happened:

SPOILERS (i wouldn't want to see it if i didn't finish the game)

From what i gathered, after reading various forums/message boards and watching walkthroughs, I think I managed to miss a torch, fell down from a platform i can't climb back up and the game uses single auto save and now I'm stuck. I really appreciate it if someone would point out if there's something that I'm missing here. I really don't want to start all over again.

@hkabaran: I think that's what Jim Sterling ran into and it's a massive game design oversight.

Just to be sure though:

@ivdamke: Yes i saw a guy called Jim Sterling retracting his 1/10 score from metacritic when searching for a solution on Google. To be honest i feel for the guy =). I'm not sure of the details of it though. He seems to have deleted his review and posted some kind of an apology.

@hkabaran: That's a real shame, I think you may just have to wait for an update where Ninja Theory hopefully puts a torch brazier down there for people to get another torch.

I'd probably encourage you to tweet it at them with your gif if you have a twitter. Although I'm sure they know about it after the Jim Sterling review it still might be worthwhile.

@efesell: Sometimes they're in time and other times they're not. And sometimes it seems like they're just there to mess with you. I swear I've dodged out of the way of a back attack that was never happening because by the time I turn around there's no additional enemies. I don't know if this is by design or just a happy coincidence but it's incredibly effect at adding to the game.

I think this is the best ''walking sim'' game I have played to date, great story, great atmosphere. It reminds me of Gone Home or Edith Finch more than Dmc. I also find the combat to be very satisfying even if it is simple.
