Well that's nine down...

I decided to stick through the frustrating game overs and get this game done today.

All told the game took just over 12 hours to finish, but like Mass Effect it's meant to be finished 3 times to see the true ending (which i just watched on line). The game was good but it seemed like all of the difficulty and horror elements went away as soon as I was able to heal my health and sanity with magic, so the whole trick with "Sanity Effects" rarely come up with a full saint bar.

The main down side is that when the character does die it's normally from some really cheap monster out of nowhere. So I would be blowing through a level with full health, then WHAM, I'm dead and have to reload from the start of the level (since I saw no reason to save on an easy area) and have to watch the unskipable all over again. Which after a while makes me want to stop playing for a bit.

Tomorrow it's on to Jade Empire: Limited Edition (which I had barley even started before).
