Cons
Con Bland/forgettable writing
Characters from this reboot are very forgettable.
Con Claustrophobic level design
Too often the levels feature narrow corridors and small rooms. This makes for tight situations where it can be difficult to see everything around you due to camera angles and walls in the way.
Con Some parts can be really slow and it can take a few deaths to figure out how some things work, yet it's most straightforward
Con Puzzle stages mid-game feel out of place
About midway through the game, users will run into puzzle-platforming sections. These feel as if they were added to add longevity to the game and seem out of place compared to the rest of the game.
