I'm late when it comes to this series and I was afraid to play this game because everyone said NG3 sucks. I actually like this game way more than NG1&2. The combat is easier to understand despite still being hard to master. Levels look much better when it comes to the artstyle, there's no pointless puzzle solving or key hunting (let's be honest here nobody cares about puzzle solving or exploration in a game like this) also the story and music are way better too.
