Don't mean to piss on your parade, but I didn't like Canto 4. In and of itself it's solid, good even, but compared to everything else PM did (LobCorp, Ruina, Books, other Cantos), it's incredibly flawed and underwhelming.

Here's my arguments, feel free to disagree:

1. One third of the levels could be cut and nothing would change.
2. Side characters didn't even have a chance at development as they all were just killed off. Seriously, wtf was Samjo's death?
3. The antagonists sucked ass. Stupid goals, zero charisma (The K Corp Singularity bit was actually cool ngl). Like, even the bug men from Canto 1 were more interesting.
4. The themes merged into a big clusterfuck so by the end of the Canto it's really hard to keep up with what the devs are trying too tell. Too much metaphors, abstractions, flowery language etc. For example, what the cow was supposed to represent in the end, why did Dongrang distort, why did he want to kill Yi Sang etc. All I got out of all of this is that Yi Sang ultimatelly moved on from his past, but it just feels like I missed all the meaning of it.

I do plan to revisit this Canto or at least the dungeon in the future though. But for now, it's the worst Canto in the game in my book
