The thing I don't like is that there are a lot of dead ends and it's quite linear in essence while playing as Juste.

The dead ends were one of the things that bothered me. I'm having a lot of "wtf do I go" moments so far

This was a definite problem for the game. When I had almost basically finished the game for the first time I couldn't figure out where to go next. Out of all the remains I didn't even have Dracula's Heart which was needed for the final push to home plate. Because of this I thought my copy of HoD was broken, lol. Once I did manage to get the heart then the rest of the game opened up for me. But man, I gotta tell you that was annoying for a while.

I'm starting to notice a fee design flaws and they're mostly to do with the castle tbh.
The fact there is nothing similar to SOTN's library card is frustrating.

What I am liking is the gameplay, but fuck me Juste's jump is so floaty. There's no half jump when trying to jump forward and attack. The result is jumping into enemies and bosses unless you're really careful. I tend to only jump straight up to attack or just use the dash system.
Maxim's jumping feels better imo, which is a shame. This aside gameplay = good.
Boss fights are actually challenging on this run.

I was getting frustrated with HoD's incessant dungeon crawling/ trolling but I finally found the skywalk last night! Up to the Devil boss now.
