- “The main problem I have with the game, though, is the 'kill x target enemies with thrown weapons / ball of death / etc.' Those are very often a combination of tedious and frustrating, as you wait for the right sequence of events (an enemy with the required weapon type, and a target enemy in the right position) to occur repeatedly.”
- “It's a decent enough game, but after spending 37 hours to clear all of it, I think it's ultimately just tedious.”
