Finished the game this evening! Damn... this game sure left me with some scenes that will forever stay etched in my mind. It's not for the scares that I will remember this title for but it's for the sheer gritty, dark and macabre environments that hooked me in and kept me intrigued that I will remember it for. The fog, the mist, the dark and dimly lit corridors and rooms... I loved it! Having said that the combat in this game, at least for me wasn't a particularly smooth experience. Probably it's just me but the melee attack system (specially because I was a heavy weapons user in the game) felt very slow and clumsy. Plus, the recovery time after a heavy attack with a weapon like the Hammer or the Axe is way too long and when fighting faster enemies like the glowing monster (aka Irohihi) and the blade legged girls (aka Harai Katashiro) was sometimes very frustrating. Also, when these monsters bum rush you they have a very big chance of getting the best of you very quickly! Also, the story felt so bizarre at certain points in the game, specially towards the end! This was good and bad in a way because I think it kept me playing right till the end and even though this game has multiple endings (which unlock on multiple play-throughs) I think the ending on the first play-through is the one I liked the most (I read about all the endings on Wiki after completing the game as I won't be giving this another play-through again). Levels that I will never forget from the game:

Sadly yes

Guys, is it worthwhile getting that drunkard miniboss at hirata in the start or wait till OP?
