“Fantastic controls and gameplay.”
“The gameplay is tight and responsive, with the ability to transform into a variety of unique creatures adding a delightful layer of diversity to the experience.”
“The biomorph mechanic is fun and keeps the gameplay fresh, as every enemy has its own set of attacks and abilities.”
“I confirm what's in this review, the problem is not with me, the gameplay is slow, full of open-world 'stupid' quests which make it bad from my perspective.”
“It’s one of a few poor decisions which don’t enhance the gameplay but rather annoy the player.”
“[*] The main morphing mechanic is both its strength and weakness at the same time since it makes combat mandatory to progress, but the combat is so horribly balanced and designed that it makes it a slog to work through an area again if you die.”
