Zonto was nice enough to let me borrow this... and after keeping it for 3 months I finally decided to give this game a go. 
 

1. The apocalyptic difficulty keeps you in check which I like. 
2. Grinding for 150 environment kills and killing 160 enemies while riding the angelic beast were super annoying and almost ruined the game for me. But once this was over and my scythe was beefed up a bit my mind was set at ease and I was just enjoying the game.
3. Some fights prove to be very frustrating and really require persistence and figuring out the right approach.
4. I love how the game has hidden collectibles that reveal secrets on the map = less need for walkthroughs!
5. I'm 7 hours into the game now... the hunt for 1000 continues!
