YMMV / Jekyll and Hyde (2010)

• Annoying Video Game Helper: Jekyll himself is this, as he can comment on anything you can examine for quite some time. You can shut him up by pressing the space bar, but doing so may cause you to miss out on actual useful information.
• Nightmare Fuel: The prologue has detailed illustrations of plague-sickened bodies in a pile as the epidemic spreads.
• Slow-Paced Beginning: The first chapter is tedious to work through, but later levels get more interesting as your abilities expand.
• Spiritual Successor: The game is the spiritual successor to Jekyll and Hyde (2001). It features much better graphics and a more streamlined story, but retains the Jekyll and Hyde aspects, them fighting a cult, Hyde being faster, stronger, and more durable than Jekyll, and the ability to mix potions.
• That One Level:
  • Chapter 4 has a room where blades circle around pillars. As Hyde, you have to use slow motion to slip through them, but it's a lot harder than it sounds as just grazing a blade will kill you and some of the blades are double-sided or go counter clockwise.
  • Chapter 4 has a maze of fire surrounded by mesh walls with confusing camera angles and layouts, and an area where you have to dodge fire balls shooting along and above the corridors, with some coming from behind you.
  • Chapter 5 has a block puzzle with a tendency to glitch and have the boxes stuck in walls and a clock tower climb that rivals Castlevania in difficulty. There are no enemies, but Jekyll has to jump like a normal human being across a series of platforms going the wrong way in a circle, starts a little too close to the edge if you die, you constantly have to adjust yourself after landing so there's room to jump at all, jumping to the final platform is at a different angle than the other jumps, and there's lag. To top it off, if you fall off of the following segment you have to do it all over again, and it's even possible to accidentally go back to the entrance to the room and have to do everything over.
  • Chapter 6 has a very frustrating segment where Hyde must scale a lot of cliffs above a rising lava lake, with awkward camera angles, tricky or nonresponsive jumps, and sending you back to the start if you fall.
• That One Puzzle: The solar system puzzle in chapter 6, which has 5 planets that must be put in a certain alignment and 5 different ways to move them.
• The Problem with Licensed Games: While praised for its atmosphere, the graphics are outdated, the voice acting is merely passable, the story is silly, and the platforming is pretty generic.
