I started off vibing with this one but unfortunately, the game just kept wearing me down until I didn't give a shit by the end.

The mechanics of what you can and can't do are often not explained correctly, bosses have terrible checkpoints and in general the backtracking in this feels really bad. That last part is definitely a huge issue that persists for the entire game.

Shadow Complex also does this really annoying thing where every time you open a path, that path will be closed the next time you go there. It makes it really hard to keep track of where I am and just adds to the tedium.

Big disappointement.
