La Mulana EX

Date played: October 30th
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 3/10
I didn't know what to expect out of this small Vita game that I downloaded for free on PS+ a while back. It turns out, it's kind of a rogue like I think, but it's fucking brutal. The hero is a man with a whip, a laptop and a sense of adventure. After gearing up in town, he descends into a large set of ruins known as La Mulana. The game handles well enough. I killed some snakes, some large birds, some skeletons and some bats. The game seems to be about finding your way through the labyrinth of the ruins. However, when I died, I was booted back up to the title screen with the option of "New Game". Fuck that shit. I'm never playing this again.
