This is a very specific game.
It's old school one, sure, you can say so immediately from the trailer. But not like early 2000 old school, and not even 90's.

This is how gaming used to be in 70's and 80's, when games were on cartridges, and the developer was setting a set of puzzles that had a certain solution. The players were severely punished for tackling the problem any other way, forced to play the game again from the start, "until they'll get it right".

This may sound horrible today, but this type of gaming is not without its charm - once you will learn how to tackle each of the game's puzzles and can do that at will, you are likely to feel an immense satisfaction at the precision and finesse of your playthrough. Also it will look amazing.

However, if this doesn't sound appealing to you, if you hate grinding, if you hate the concept of playing same levels again and again, if you want a skill tree, non-linear paths, cutscenes and plot - you should skip this game for certain.
This game belongs in a museum: games like this are important part of gaming history and a treasure, but are terribly outdated.

For what this game is trying to achieve it does it amazingly well.
