Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I am having a blast with this lots of fun, a reasonable sense of progression but its not handed to you on a plate, its hard in places and certainly has difficulty spikes but it makes you play smart and I get a sense of real satisfaction beating the bosses.
