This is just amazing. Very big levels, was so interesing to explore them. Now I feel like it's the rare case when exploration makes real sense, because it's easy to find secrets in a small maps, but go find some hidden stuff in a huge level!
All levels generously give players variety of tools for exploration and traveling through vast distances, and offer little to no invisible walls, or some bullshit scripted or closed ended arena sequences, which I admire. That means, if you have found the vampiric mace, or jump boots, or some other stuff you can use and combine them to skip most of the fight and just parkour your way through most of the map. Usually map gives you goals, not requirements or objectives. And your end destination is visible, so next map is a vista on a horizon, which players are expected to reach. So if you find some invulnerability + quad + rocket launcher, you can just pogo your way through the end boss or next level trigger or something. But where's the fun in that when the levels are so sprawling with details and whatnot? I didn't felt so exciting to wander through virtual landscapes for a long time.
The only downside is that two episodes and an ending bossfight levels are absent. Waiting for the full release!
