I had a lot of gripes with this game about how tedious it was and how it wasn't fun etc. etc. but the truth is, I just don't enjoy 2D games. This game is one of a kind and I think everyone should give it a shot. To me, not a lot of this game's content is appealing because I simply don't enjoy being in a 2d environment, that's why I've never finished any 2d Mario game either. Got both endings.

Unlike any other Fromsoftware game I've played but in a bad way. I could take hours to write entire paragraphs full of my gripes with this game but to be honest, it's not worth it. It isn't unplayable by any means but I guess I was spoiled by how good other Fromsoftware titles are that this feels like a 1/5. In reality, its a 3/5 game that tried a lot of neat and cool things that mostly went unnoticed because of how awful the level design and mechanics are, and so because of that will be the only Fromsoftware game in my library that I haven't 100% completed. I just can't stand another playthrough. Worst Souls 2.

Best puzzle game I've ever played. TP1 is like Portal 1 and TP2 is like Portal 2 where there is a lot more active storytelling and characters involved which is great in my opinion. A lot of brain scratching uncomfortable to ask and answer questions and really fun puzzles. The environments are beautiful and my two gripes with this game are that A. Forced upscaling or whatever's in UE5 makes games look extremely blurry or pixelated and B. getting all achievements requires you playing the game at least 3 times and making correct dialogue choices over +100 of them throughout your playthrough, just not fun therefore I will wait till someone uploads their save file to get it.
The soundtrack is incredible, I have no other words, you just have to see it for yourself.
There is a lot of walking from point a to point b especially if you don't really know what you're looking for but I didn't mind it as the soundtrack was really nice to listen to and the areas you're in look cool.

After playing Elden Ring and Sekiro I was curious about the game and series that started it all. I think it's up there with the best decisions I've made in my life.
The map of this game is better than any game I've ever played. It's so intertwined and interconnected every corridor can lead you to anywhere within the map and it all makes sense in a normal Euclidean plane (No cheating with portals etc.). You'll climb a ladder for like half a minute but it WILL connect to the place you were at earlier. It's like they challenged themselves to make the map as compact as possible yet it's still so huge. And the sights are so beautiful I find it hard to explain. This one's definitely a one you'll have to experience for yourself.
The boss fights themselves are great except a few but nothing to write home about in my opinion but that doesn't mean they aren't great fun, especially the DLC bosses.
The DLC is a nice short little adventure that I enjoyed thoroughly and I recommend anyone that liked the base game to give it a shot.
Most people find that the latter half of the game is empty with a lot of running and not enough content compared to the first, I will agree that they're emptier in terms of content but I will say that I enjoyed them at least as much as I did the first half of the game. The sights towards the end of the game trump the areas you're in at the start for sure.
This game is 5 stars, 10/10 whatever other max award I can give it. Amazing.
