Boggles my mind that the Average Rating for this is 3.5. That's way too high for a game that's all visual pizazz and little else. Heart of Darkness is an ultra unforgiving, ultra unfair cinematic platformer that revels in making the player watch its myriad of flashy death sequences. The game practically prides itself on its trial and error gameplay, and you will die... a lot. Often in maddeningly annoying ways. I played it with save states and it still made me tear my hair out. I can't fathom how anyone reached the ending legitimately.

I find it's more enjoyable if approached with the mindset of a puzzle game rather than an action platformer.
