messing around with some settings made it a painless boring instead of a frustrating one but i can see why this had a bit of excitement before release and then nobody talks about it since.
Kito is so sweet, i love him.
i wasn't completely into the combat but with some tinkering in the settings it allowed me to get back to what i was enjoying much faster, which was the platforming and exploration. once you start unlocking some of your abilities this game has some of my favorite movement in a 2D game with platforming possibly ever. completing some of the trap gauntlets while firing on all cylinders with your assortment of moves was absolutely sublime.
i did love Sargon too. my only complaint is the Warrior Within skin was locked behind preorder and is now lost unless it decides to show up again/who fucking knows but it's Ubisoft so...
The Rogue Prince of Persia looks to be much less of my kind of thing but after this i'm not going to write it off.
