Lord this Pirates of Dark Water game is awful. There is so much bullshit but here are three (in just one level) situations that pissed me off.

First: I have to climb up that ladder. But on the ledge above are two enemies, and they will stand around there because they know I'm coming. I have to climb or jump up, and either way will get my hurt. Sword slashing in the air won't help, because my body will touch them before their bodies touch my sword.

Second: I had no clue where to go. Upon jumping in the water, which hurts you and warps you back, I discover there is another ship to the right. I can get there by climbing the mast of THIS ship and leaping over. The only way to know this is to hurt yourself by jumping in the water.

Third: Left is a dead end. Whether I go up or down, I will take damage.

There are numerous other things, like how enemies will appear on the screen and damage you before you can even react. Or how once they get inside of you, you're doomed to take lots of damage. Or how sometimes your sword goes through the enemy and does nothing.
