I keep flip flopping on where this belongs because the traversal genuinely earns its praise, ability gating done right, but then the actual exploration layer feels thinner than the games it keeps getting compared to, like the map wants to be big but the world doesn't quite back it up.

And then my controller battery died right at the escape sequence. Never forgave that timing.

Truly the game's finest emotional beat, a dead battery... poetic timing honestly

The movement is genuinely some of the best in the genre, though the story leans a bit thin.

Why does this game keep getting ranked below stuff it clearly outpaces in atmosphere alone

Il est vraiment mieux classé que ça ailleurs, ou c'est propre à ce site ? Quelqu'un a des chiffres

The soundtrack alone should bump it up fifty places, no argument needed!!
