Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are downsides to the game to be sure- poor story pacing, cliffhanger ending, and the aforementioned save issues- but they do not totally detract from the main gameplay loop and joy of discovering new weapons and items with each new play through of the levels.

The good news is theres a lot of bosses, art style is decent, and theres a lot of weapons and abilities.
