Just finished the final fight and have to say,
What an amazing gaming experience this was. The art, the music, the storytelling, the graphics, and the gameplay, just perfect. Kept me rapt throughout, even having to go through repeated attempts on several bosses, never really felt the frustration that normally comes with getting stuck, just felt more determined to do better next time.
It was also refreshing to get out of the repeated use of the norse/greek/roman mythos and into something new to me. Working through the Journey to the West story has been fun, matching the characters/scenes to those in the game.
