I played it on PS4 when it first came out. I liked many of the things that you liked. The puzzles were fun, interesting, and challenging, and the Oldest House is a damn masterpiece. But the framerate drops during combat, combined with the limited save-points, turned it into a real slog. I got stuck on one particularly difficult boss battle with a particularly long runway back to the last save point, and set it aside. I’m told there have been some patches that cleaned up some of the performance issues, but I haven’t been back to play it again–it’s the kind of game that I like thinking about having played more than I actually liked playing it, I think.
