Combat had a few good ideas (such as how electrocution/chain lightning worked), boss fights were fun, and the invincibility frames for the dodge roll were generous.

The bosses, all of them, were quite challenging and especially for the last boss. i got everything i could in the game and it took me 6 hours, but i can see this easily taking 10-15 hours on a harder difficulty.

Right about now the casual outlet that Flynn offered was perfect to just lay back in the chair for with a controller and relax.
