Overall, I really enjoyed the game, although after reading a lot of impressions, I seem be of the very unpopular opinion that the game actually decreases in quality in the final third. Aside from the final boss, everything after Chapter 11 seemed to be such a slog to get through, when compared to the amazing previous sections. I think a lot of it had to do with the emphasis on the fire enemies, which were never fun to fight.
Anyone else agree, or am I completely alone on this?
Also, recycling the first game's bosses in place of potentially new memorable encounters was a bit of a disappointment.
