Beat as Morgan. The combat was decent with a good block for a change. I liked to duck down and lunge for a cheap ranged hit, but it seemed to only work when there was only a single plane. The offhand weapon system was pretty cool but I found there were far too few pick ups. The final 2 bosses were hard and I ended up giving up trying to fight sensibly, giving up lives to just attack. I had to slow down to 20 frames per second to beat the cart and carriage levels. The entire cart level was stupid; I just want to stab guys not ride a cart. The carriage was not so bad but still annoying with times jumps. I got lost in the jungle and had to check a walkthrough. The platforming sucked, with no direction changing mid air and finicky climbing. I hated those bats that can't be killed.

It is better than some other similar games but could really have used better level design with more fighting and direction, and better platforming (if any at all).
5.5/10
