    I don't remember the last time I picked up a game I knew nothing about and didn't put it down or supplement my time with other activitiesI don't remember the last time I picked up a game I knew nothing about and didn't put it down or supplement my time with other activities until it was done. Such a wonderfully styled game that has challenging puzzles, clues, hidden items, and upgrades to your weaponry is rarely found but you find it all here. It provides the right level of complexity in solving puzzles, the perfect balance of hunting collectibles and items without it overwhelming the rest of the game, and a great sense of achievement for defeating bosses and obtaining difficult treasures. Would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys platformers with a classic feel.… Expand
