Perhaps it's something of the hype jading the game. Though I do think the first few hours were much greater then the last few.

Partially it's just to easy even a clumsy shot as myself never died and that sucks suspense out of scene the threat of death is just non-existent.

And the themes to tend to dry up and sort of devolve the game into a shoot out.

Still, saving freakish small girls, hunting steampunk golems and helping a homicidal lunatic construct his opus was all very dark and skillful design.

The final boss was a rather simplistic affiar agreed, though nothing in the entire game was especially challenging. Still I thought that the Leviathon boss in Zero G was a pretty awesome fun fight and when you got onto the miltary ship and the stasis necros came for you... that was a moment that it almost FELT like a horror game.

I think the game would work better with sort of a "Fear" bar that would shake up Isaac's aim and make his reloading more clumsy. He is simply too efficent.



I just finished Heavenly Sword. I bought it cheap and figured I'd give it a run. I thought it was pleasantly beautiful and had enough really odd characters to make it compelling. If you want the feeling that you are playing a campy Chinese fantasy film this one delivers that pretty well.
