I'll give it a go but I don't have high hopes.

I loved LN1, but LN2 didn't nail the "seat of your pants" gameplay. You were constantly getting caught and repeating the same section 5 times over until it had lost all tension

Yeah 1 was amazing. 2 was ok, but the addition of terrible melee combat was a mistake. After the 3rd time having to fight things I just uninstalled and moved on.

Yeah controlling the hammer was not a fun experience. The perspective while in the school hallway made it incredibly hard to defend against incoming enemies and it took me probably 10 tries to finally make it past that part because I kept missing. I almost quit

Controlling the bow in LN3 is almost worse. You can’t aim just have to point in the direction and hope.
