A five star first few hours just like I remembered it back then. I had never finished this and finally sat down to. Not sure if it was worth it because my opinion is drastically lower as a result. It's still a cool game and especially for 2005, but mired in clunk, bugs, and some dubious design choices, where the player is constantly lost and challenge just becomes a chore to get over rather than an accomplishment in overcoming. The fact that I felt compelled to finish this nonetheless says a lot in favor of the things it did right, but I was close to giving up.

The cherry on top is that I couldn't even finish the very, very end of the game due a known game-breaking bug, and had to watch the final scene through a video.
