This game definitely feels like it hasn't aged all that well. I found myself to be consistently frustrated with the game's design, with trial and error and occasionally straight up cheap death moments. I cannot imagine playing this game without save scumming, and while I'm thankful that you can save at any time, that shouldn't excuse poor design. The game also doesn't control that well. The player character's movement feels slippery, and midair control isn't good. The ladders are jank. It's influential and an important piece of gaming history, but I didn't like playing it all that much. It's alright, but it's no masterpiece.
