It’s handling of progression is just right, with maybe a slight slip towards the end, thanks to its stream of new abilities and variants of foes that require a different way of going about punching their faces. There’s enough to do without it feeling overbearing. Time-wise, you’re looking at 25+ hours of gameplay, easily. It’s true that the characters could have used more fleshing out. The story didn’t receive enough attention, either and it stands as the game’s biggest missed opportunity. The inconsistent leveling requirements towards the end may also feel a little strange and put off people looking for a fluid, straightforward experience.
