Its great! .... Except the ending

This game is near perfect! It has challenging gameplay, engrossing story, and interesting moral decisions you can make. I found every level enjoyable for both the good and evil path (good a little less because the your characters upgrades are cut in half).
My first playthrough had me instantly addicted. I tried the evil path first because I always prefer the good path to be my personal finale for video games like this (also because the good endings are usually how games are meant to end with the evil ending as an alternate ending). I beat the game with few problems and the evil ending was okay. It was a somewhat morbid ending with a morbid credit role to match.
I then tried the good playthrough. This is when one of the few gripes I had with this game took place: a MASSIVE difficulty shift. I discovered that the game switched itself to hard mode. All enemies kill you in one hit and their attacks come at you faster. This especially didnt help when I could only upgrade my base stats with no special abilities. If you do the same as I do as mentioned earlier, this is the one time I recommend that you dont try it. You will rage-quit once or twice.
Now for the reason why Im only giving this fantastic game 4 stars. The evil ending had an excusable explanation as to what was going on behind the scenes. The final battle takes place and you defeat the guy that betrays you. You then get a satisfying final cutscene with everyone that you have killed. But the good ending had nothing! The final boss just pops out of nowhere and starts attacking you without warning. You dont even get to see the White Spirit (the female forest spirit that guides you through the path of forgiveness and mercy and whatnot)! A VERY disappointing ending to a great game.
In other words, despite the crappy ending, I highly recommend this great game! just dont expect a kind memory of the ending.
