    Came here just to say La Mulana is the worst game I've played in a while, and don't even say it is because I only play modern garbage so I couldn't understand such a "masterpiece".
    I'm a big fan of old school games, I like exploration (Super Metroid might be my favorite game ever), but something just feels off about this game.
    Terrible, I mean TERRIBLE controls ruin the experience from    Came here just to say La Mulana is the worst game I've played in a while, and don't even say it is because I only play modern garbage so I couldn't understand such a "masterpiece".

    Terrible, I mean TERRIBLE controls ruin the experience from the very beginning, you can get used to them, but something like this shouldn't happen.
    Some puzzles are unfair and make no sense, in some games, when you aren't able to solve a puzzle, you may watch a guide and say "oh, I can't believe y missed that", but with La Mulana's puzzles, your reaction will be more like "SERIOUSLY?!", a bunch of this puzzles are cryptic and have no logic whatsoever, reminds me of Castlevania 2, you will be wandering around for hours until you eventually watch a guide and proceed, just to realize you couldn't have solved the puzzle without said guide unless you did it by accident.
    I've seen lots of love for this game, but I really think it is overrated, you may enjoy it if you have the patience to assimilate its flaws and get used to its overall poor gameplay design, but personally I wouldn't recommend it.    … Expand

    La-Mulana EX brings back great feelings of previous iterations, ongoing challenges and complex level design. This title is a must have for all 8-bit era fans.

    A little tomb raiding may sound fun. But there's nobody here to hold your hand, you dig? [May 2015, p77]
