One of my favorite genres of games is 3D collectathon platformers. Mario, Banjo, Spyro, love these games, however this one though okay, is not good or great. The positives, characters are cute and colorful if a bit busy but that's okay especially since it is the style they are going for. I appreciate the classic retro style the game is made in and the filter is a cool touch. The first little bit of the game is nice and having to get an item to get more abilities is a great idea. This is where it ends though as the rest of the game gets odd. One of the biggest things about 3D platformers is the smooth controls, this game doesn't have those. The speed to walk is slow, the rolling and jumping are inconsistent and I understand the choice of not having combat, but it is odd. I've never had a good game in this genre where the jumping just doesn't feel good in any way. The jumps are short and the only way to get them higher by only a fraction is an ability you must earn, same for gliding. The last level is also just not enjoyable at all, same for the last "boss fight". As for other levels they tend to have lots of weird sections that just lead to dead ends suddenly, are maze like and hard to traverse. They don't have many characteristics to tell the difference between paths. Granted these sections aren't very long but there were a few times where I'd end up getting turned around and have to correct my direction. There are just a lot of really weird choices that don't make complete sense in the game. Some things just frustrated me to where the only thing making me 100% the game is the fact that the only achievements are for 100%'ing the game. Is it okay for a short game, sure, its just not good in my opinion though.

DELIGHTFUL GAME. Love it to bits and pieces, my boyfriend bought me it for thanksgiving and its been such a blast to play! Would recommend to others! Only thing that's troublesome are some of the eggs are really hard to figure out or find sometimes, but 10/10 otherwise

Amazing art, amazing soundtrack. I would slow down from time to time just to appreciate the beautiful environment.
