The Shrine

I know Eric has talked about it already, but I just wanted to add my two cents in.

So I finally bought/started it the other day, and it is actually very reminiscient of SoT. In fact, I really like what the "speed kills" bring to the table - it basically takes the puzzle-platforming goodness and adds another layer of timing, stealth, and strategy on top of it. It doesn't suck! Yay!

I haven't played enough to get to a "dark Prince" section yet, but based on the non-awfulness of the game so far, I'm cautiously optimisitic (as Tycho would say).

I am about 2/3 of the way through PoP:WW right now (I'm estimating) and despite the fact that there is way too much fighting mixed into the puzzle solving, I am still loving the game.

I hear TT is even better, more like SoT so I am really looking forward to playing it.

Let me know what you think the farther you get.

"What if Krispy Kreme teamed up with someone's asshole to put shit in donuts? Then would be you be 'cautiously optimistic'?"

I hereby give the whole "Dark Prince" thing a thumbs-up. The whole dynamic reminds me greatly of the relationship between D and his left hand (the voice actors even sound similar), and the gameplay of the Dark Prince sections is fine, mainly because the chain-whip is so much fun.

Good times!
