Kuon, despite the random freaky parts, isn't what I thought it would be...
The story isn't very strong, the action is limited, the variety of enemies are few... It's pretty sad actually. From what I read in the manual, I honestly thought this game had potential as a really interesting survival horror game. I was mistaken; Kuon suceeds in repetitious enemy encounters in which you use the same techniques over and over again to dispatch your foes. Despite the fact that you can play as two characters, both these characters' stories are very vague, not really indepth enough for the average gamer. The voice-acting was lacklustre at best (the characters didn't even mouth the words, looking as though their lips had been glued shut) and the puzzles were not challenging enough in the least. Another thing that really got me was the camera; the awful camera angles provided a very limited view of the smallish world around you, inhibiting movement and fights when they occur.

Now, I'm not usually a negative person when it comes to games, but Kuon was quite possibly one of the worst games I've ever played.. and I know a lot of people don't feel this way, but I can't seem to come to any other conclusion but to dislike it. The only thing it had going for it was the saving system (a small cleansing ritual by the water) and the nicely rendered backgrounds... other than that, it was all rather substandard for a survival horror game... *laments not picking up SH2 when she had the chance* :cry:
