The game that created a new genre of Action- RPGs.
Level design in the first half of the game remains unmatched to this day.
Might be strange to say, but now that I have beaten the game I return regularly and it's kind of my 'cozy game'. It's so satisfying to explore.
My recommendation for this game is : Everyone should probably try it once in their lives. Yes it's obtuse, yes it's frustrating but it manages to strike a strong balance between that and feeling very rewarding.
