Games becoming easier over the years is an interesting discussion. Were games too hard? Were they legitimatly hard on the nes? Snes? But difficult games are not gone completely. Games like dark souls and blood bourne show people still enjoy testing their limits. If those games names make you shutter at the thought of playing them due to the difficulty then this isn't a game for you. But to me? I love this game. It's a challanging platformer and yet...I almost never felt frustrated. But to start off, here we go.

Graphics 10/10-They're very pleasing to look at. Very minimalistic and not taxing on your hardware. I enjoy the little touches like blood trails on where you walk or climb. Don't expect ground breaking, but I don't think that was the intent.

Sound 10/10- Sound tracks are good. And never really repetitive. And the death sounds are gross in the best way possible.

controls 10/10-Perfect. Period. And it needs to be. If the controls were even a little bit off, it would be unplayable due to the pin point accuracy you need to get through the game. Ironicly the controls are so perfect you will need to get used to them. There is NO delay and that may throw you off for a little bit. But I never felt like the controls messed me up.

Gameplay 9/10-I love it. But it's really hard. I cannot say this enough. You need so much practice and such great reflexes, that you may not be able to beat the game. My point is that this game isn't for everyone. But this game does make it less frustrating by respawning you when you die at once. And the levels are not long either meaning you can get back to where you died quickly. Unlimited lives as well. My only problem is the hidden levels that have lives. It seems counter intuitive to the idea of the game and doesn't seem like a good idea.But it's so rewarding when you beat a level, it just feels unmatched.

replay 10/10- Yes, this will last you a while. unlockable characters with their own abilities,hidden levels and a harder dark world to complete...you get the bang for your buck.

overall 10/10-This isn't for everyone. But with it's perfect controls, great level design, and dark sense of humor, I always had fun even when I died, a lot.
