The episode's final scene is a spinning maelstrom -- bad news for those prone to motion sickness.
Second, the game would also appear to be evolving into more of a platformer, judging by the sequences that had Grimm hopping among the boats and floating crates of the beach's harbor. It occurred to me, as Grimm floated along on a piece of driftwood and did what he always does when left to his own devices (piss golden liquid in a high, strong arc in front of him), that it would be much more fun if you could actually urinate on things from afar to turn them dark. I found myself fantasizing about sending swathes of pee out into the water, spraying bushes and trees, and even targeting unsuspecting birds. Maybe this gross little game is starting to get to me...
Grimm's misogynistic ranting against the fisherman's wife (he even drops the b-bomb) and heavy-handed potshots against religion were this installment's weak points, although the characters in the cathedral transforming from saintly altar boys to red-robed maniacs -- is it just me, or was this a deliberate reference to Monty Python's "Spanish Inquisition" sketch? -- redeemed the episode.
