Let me preface this by saying I've got no issue with UGnG's murderous difficulty. I'm a huge Souls fan and I like the other games in the series just fine.
My gripe is with the backtracking elements of the game. They feel poorly-implemented and tacked-on, as though they were publisher-mandated rather than part of the original vision.
I hear Goku Makaimura Kai fixes these problems, but sadly, it's Japan-only, so I've only got this one to go on. UGnG doesn't work at all in my books; its frustrating trial-and-error gameplay gels incredibly poorly with the constant need to backtrack through levels to collect everything.
