It's a bit long. And I'm playing on hard difficulty so killing bosses takes time. I'm not saying that length is a bad thing but it's just that if other new games push Agony away from the new games on front page, I might never finish it.
I've never liked-or been good at for that matter-games of this genre, i.e. beat-em-up while spewing blood on everything. But agony the portal offered a challenge on easy (like I said, low skill level :*( ) while being insanely fun. I must've played it for at least 2 hours before realizing I was so hooked. But it does get rather annoying having to do all these meaningless villages when I want to get to the good stuff, the king!
My big issue with the game is that each "village" has a name.... so each map should be different. The enemies are similar and the "combos" are basically unnecessary since you can just super power your normal attack... I don't know maybe I'm missing something. The intro cut scene was a nice touch
