A fun game that requires skill and patience.
That description felt inaccurate. You need some kind of godlike limb dexterity to be able to navigate any given area properly.
I'd reccomend this to veteran gamers on prozac because the slightest mistake equals death. While i support over the top difficult games, this is just too much. The amount of "discriminating" texture is near non existent (like getting exploded into feathers by the lint off of a blowing fan...)
I'm giving this a 5 because the game is indeed hard, but the lives system and the constant "panic sequences" made this game too frustrating even for my liking. Other than that, the graphics are top notch and the setting / story is nicely done. Just improve on the difficulty curve or making it less annoying to die by removing lives and adding checkpoints to every room as mentioned by others.
