Cons
Con Poor story in second act
The second act of the game has an increasingly incoherent story that explains very little of what is going on. Considering the first act ends with a cliffhanger and many questions to be asked, to see the second half explain almost none of it makes for a frustrating story.
Con Short
The game can be completed in under half an hour.
Con Buggy
The AI for enemies does not work to well with them getting stuck on one another or falling over parts of the environment.
