« Walled at a janky platforming section. Felt a lot like Oni when I started playing, then hit the terrible terrible platforming and it REALLY felt like Oni. The platforming is not fun enough to commit time to getting good at it. »

« Platforming is too stiff for what the game demands. Combat is shallow. Enemies are spongey. Upgrades don't make you feel any stronger. Difficulty is not balanced. »
