I suspect detractors think it's too long and brutal, and I wouldn't blame anyone for struggling to get all the way through it; but despite sharing those exact feelings frequently throughout, I think it's a masterpiece and an essential experience.

One of very few games that I've played through more than once, in this case at least 4 times now. The most recent was while reminding myself which iOS game I owned on an iPad I've long neglected. I started M11 on a whim and casually finished it that same day (admittedly, it's not terribly lengthy). The mechanics are some of my favorite ever. They allow for clever puzzle platforming with just enough entropy to be exciting without being frustrating. Only recently did I realize that it doesn't have that many reviews, and even those are just fine and not exactly glowing. I would've sworn is a bit of an indie darling. I suppose it's niche; but still, I was dismayed!

Quite fun but over way too soon. The core grinding mechanic works really well. Other mechanics--shooting, driving various vehicles--are sometimes fun but feel like a desperate attempt to mix things up with kind of dull results. I'd love to see a really great sequel, though!
