Firstly I would like to say this game is awesome, i was hooked as soon as it started playing. The storyline 10/10, the gameplay 10/10, the graphics 10/10. Probably contender for the single player of the year. However there is one massive problem with this game.
The meditation points / save points are placed in the most annoying, frustrating places in the world. This game is difficult, especially if you play it on one of the harder levels, you just have to learn the timing of the enemies and become good at parrying. The harder enemies / boss enemies are especially difficult at times and you will quickly find yourself being killed and travelling through half of the map you have already done about 20 times before you finally kill it, that's if your controller survives that long. It would have made more sense to put the save points nearer the really difficult enemies so you can just concentrate on killing them, just like in the new tomb raider games. This game is losing 1 and half stars from me just because of that reason.
When you buy this game make sure to purchase a spare control pad too, so when your darkside comes out and the first one control pad hits the wall and smashes into a hundred pieces, you still have the spare one to carry on with.
