I generally
get an immediate sense as to whether I'm going to want to play

got a bit of work ahead of me.
Despite my love of the Indie scene I don't
usually review many Indie

But the thing about how the
game makes its beatability checks is that it only makes sure that it can be beaten only one way, so each level, even the craziest looking, boils down to a specific, and
