Whats the score on somber echoes so far?

Beautiful, with great potential, but some very frustrating niggles and jank that really spoiled my playthrough after about the six hour mark where the game asked more of me but couldn't deliver me the precision I needed. Wonderful exploration and puzzle design, but yeah, the frustration got the better of me. Very much a "your mileage may vary" title. Definitely one to keep an eye on, as it's doing many things well, but the FEEL of the game isn't always one of them.

Just as an update, the first patch improved one of my issues immensely, but there's still work to be done. I ended up giving the game a C-tier rating, up slightly from the D I was originally going to give it. With the other issues fixed it could EASILY be a B-tier as the exploration and visuals are generally excellent, but man, some rough edges need polishing first. Devs seem like nice people, though. Spoken to a few of them. Fingers crossed for improvements. I know they're working on Fast Travel.
