Difficultywise the game to me was pretty easy for the most part but did have some challenges along the way as well. Outside of a select few completely optional levels it was never a frustrating experience to me. Now this is not a perfect game by any means and it has some glitches and bugs here and there. Like being able to clip through certain objects getting you st…

Annoying finicky controls. Piss-poor save system. Redefined controls are not matched by ingame glyphs.
