Huh? Most of the reviews I've seen have been pretty good.

...and so on. I'd be curious to hear where this "generally considered horrible" comment is coming from.

Agreed. Every time I hear mention of Odin Sphere it's always in a positive, "YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME" kind of light, so I don't know where the idea that's horrible is coming from.

Well, there have been a lot of justified complaints about the truly, unforgivably hideous slowdown that occurs in the boss battles against Odette (ugh, it took me SO DAMN LONG to beat her with Gwen. The others were bad too, but Gwen's battle with Odette was definitely the worst) and I think that some people were a little put-off by the fact that you're essentially repeating the same areas/bosses for six rounds, just using different characters each time, plus the difficulty level in some of the areas/boss battles (Cornelius. Titania. I'M LOOKING AT YOU) but other than that? *shrug* I love the plot, I love the characters and the artwork and soundtrack are practically worth the price alone, I think.

Sadly, that is EXACTLY it.

A similar case:
Evolution was a cute RPG, great story, lovable characters...but the repeating, random dungeons with over 40+ floors in some cases...

...yeah it hurt the game beyond repair. :/
