I loved almost everything about this game. The only thing I wished was different was that there was more banter between Elika and the prince, I love the stuff that gets said when you stop and talk to Elika, I just wish more of it was in the game as you travel because it's a beautiful gem that you can potentially skip right over.
Also, I hear a lot of people complaining on other forums and in other mediums about the whole "Elika saves you when you fall, so there's no downside to not making a jump, there is no penalty." maybe it's just me but thats something that always infuriated me when I played games. For whatever reason a button press did something it shouldn't have, or didn't go through at all, which would lead you to die. Which would then throw you into a "Game Over" screen, and you'd have to go through a loading screen to start back off where you left-off.
This one gives you a clean little animation and you start where you left off, so you spend more time playing the game no matter your skill level, than you do trying to bend the controller.
Another thing I think this game does beautifully is combat. Sure there's not a whole lot of variations, but it is what it should be in these games, fast and simple. Where your random encounters, the easiest thing to do is make it to the enemies spawn as fast as possible to hit it before it spawns(beautiful by the way), or push the enemy to the edge of the ring and deliver a single hit kill attack, ending the boring combat and getting back to the fun platforming.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
