A beautiful game with a couple of warts
Overall, a beautiful puzzle platformer. Visually, I'm left feeling that it's what the 3D Rayman games would have been if the available technology at the time had been more capable of expressing the necessary art style. I love that each boss has their own song and, aside from one line in the plague nightmare's song which I think is in poor taste, I like them all. As for the puzzles, I'm not a huge fan of the timed puzzles in clockwork town (especially the one where you have to race the clock AND dodge the razor-sharp clock hands), and I'm also not a huge fan of the "Sokoban the shield around while saying protected from the waves of despair puzzles", but I had no complaints otherwise. I did notice a couple of times when a boss got stuck on geometry for a second or two during a cutscene and then teleported to the next keyframe'd position, but, otherwise, the game has been solid for me. The choice to end on a movie-style "song with vocals playing over a stylized credits crawl" left me feeling "Now THAT was how you do a game which aspires to movie-like storytelling without making the player grow to resent what cutscenes there are!" NOTE: I play my platformers using an XBox 360 pad, so my rating doesn't take into account how the game may control without one.
Hilft dir das weiter?
