    Abe also manages to remain challenging while never becoming irritating. Words cannot express how important this is. [Overall Score = 97]

    If not for "Final Fantasy 7" this would probably be my pick for game of the year.

    Handles quite well and that's especially important as many of the puzzles require split-second timing and instant controller response.

It's a masterpiece and you should pick it up seeing it's quite cheap on certain services.… Expand
