The Matrix: Path of Neo is, despite its flaws, an ambitious attempt to translate the Matrix trilogy into video game form, though it also slams hard into a brick wall with its over-egged late-game level "Distorted Dimensions."

After encountering The Merovingian, he'll force you to find your way out of a reality-warping, chateau-styled maze, a maze which is basically the equivalent of throwing darts with your eyes closed and seeing what happens.

There's little in the way of clear logic to traversing it beyond sheer dumb luck, such that it can take literally hours to make it to the end, especially with the awkward platforming elements and the fact you have to periodically fight giant ants. Really.

While it makes for an intriguingly off-the-wall challenge at first, it's ultimately more infuriating than fun, to the extent that many likely bailed at this point and never returned.
