Absolutely fantastic expansion of the main game's story, with lots of new stuff to sink your teeth into. New mechanics, new areas, new bosses, it's a real feast. It even manages to find ways to incorporate a few aspects of the classic game's main campaign that were conspicuously absent from the remake, which does a lot to make it feel distinct and unique in a way that the original Separate Ways campaign didn't.

Very impressive visually and in terms of direction, a bit of a fucking nightmare to play. All the usual cinematic platformer stuff applies, unresponsive controls, cryptic problem solving, frustrating trial and error gameplay. I hit my breaking point when I realized that one of my deaths hadn't sent me back to the beginning of an area but HAD reset some of the earlier puzzles in said area, unbeknownst to me. I can forgive a lot when you're pushing boundaries like this but flagrantly misleading the player like that is too much.

Feels great to play with the swimming mechanics' momentum to leap out of the water and such, unfortunately the game doesn't seem to know what to do with what it has. Quickly throws you into a dungeon environment where these elements are more of a burden than a gift. Worth a look nonetheless, coming to grips with the controls and exploring the early areas is an absolute delight.

This game's really cool and I can't think of any reason not to like it but for some reason I just don't vibe with it that much? Like every time I look at what's there I'm like "this is rad!" And then 3 or 4 hours in I just fall off. Dunno what's up with that but I recommend it to anyone who likes JRPGs.
