Echoes of wisdom.
It starts well and just never goes up. Throw monster X at monster Y. That is fun at first but gets meh eventually. You just sit and wait for either to die. Re-summon if needed etc.
Exploring starts better and ends equally meh. How do I get up? Oh I use monster Z. I need to get across? Monster C.
The puzzles were great but far and few between.
