>>11792407>Or does it ever return?Unfortunately not. Stage 2 is the worst (just extremely awkward linear action in an ugly setting with item collection along the way), stages 3 and 4 are the same (but not as ugly or tedious) with a few cool one-off gimmicks here and there, and stage 5 is a not especially awkward, but generally bland, nonlinear collection puzzle. The cool one-off gimmicks are almost all crammed into stage 1.
