Some of the UI and RPG elements are annoying to navigate through and often interrupt the fluidity of the game. The game does set markers for you if you choose to follow the intended path, but going off the road less traveled always seems to reap benefits. The game makes finding secrets and solving puzzles rewarding. Unlike the majority of the games on the list, this game is not purely 2D and you have the freedom to travel in any direction you want.
