it could be because of the clunkier animations, it could be because of the way more evil level design, I don't really know, but this game feels like a real piece of shit compared to the original. Something about the physics and the combat feels really off too.
Got pretty far into it but at some point I just didn't feel like playing any more, it was just a frustrating experience...

one of the first games I ever played, playing and learning this game with my older brother was a blast, tho I never finished it until very recently... and man I think it's aged really gracefully, still a very nice game to pick up and play honestly

Very good adventure game with fantastic presentation, characters and pacing, was having a great time through it all.
I do think it could be like 2 hours longer or something tho, because IMO it kinda rushes the final stretch and left me slightly unsatisfied, but despite that I think it was very much well worth playing through it and would recommend it to anyone.
SE please for the love of god release more stuff like this, ty.
