Well - last night playing against Harg'kyth (solo) I gave it my best - albeit tired and perhaps a bit buzzed - I worked him and worked him and never got him further down than 1/3. I died twice. That was a bit...irritating. Maybe infuriating? Maybe I decided at that time I was never going to play an STS game again. Subsequently, perhaps after sleeping, I decided I'd give it another chance because I've been enjoying DL so far.

The rest of it? I enjoyed it - it was challenging but not joylessly frustrating. I'm interested to see where the story is going but honestly I'd like to see a deeper story - see Final Fantasy? Story is everything, graphics second, mechanics perhaps third, maybe tied for second.

Finally - I wish there were a bit more of larger levels with more grunts. It's fun killing the minions, give me more of that. The bosses - I wish for more minibosses that are tough but not nuts and for bosses that only require skill and care to defeat.
