A strong title in the series
If you enjoy Metroid-Vania type platformers then this game is for you. A vibrant, colorful, world with some most excellent platforming and challenging areas and bosses. Easily worth the $27 I paid for it. Combat feels good, controls are pretty good (I'd like clearer hitboxes on the shield) and it's a ton of fun. In my opinion there are two cons to this game: The first is that the story feels phoned in. The second, and this is more a personal pet peeve, is Zeke - a little dragon ally that is a character you often interact with as you progress through the story. Unfortunately, he also helps you on bosses if you failed to kill a boss after the first two times. The game designers made a bold and frankly arrogant decision to assume players would want help with a boss after the first two attempts. First, Zeke showing up in this way makes no sense to the story since he's often supposed to be off at a different area entirely. Second, it takes away the joy and feeling of accomplishment to have figured out the fight and beat it on your own without assistance. My advice in future games is to always ALWAYS give the player the choice. This could easily have been done by granting the player an item that will allow the player to magically summon Zeke should you decide you need his help. This could easily be handled in the context of the world and story and gives control to the player. Unfortunately the phoned in story and Zeke are enough for me to dock a star from this otherwise fantastic game which still comes strongly recommended by me. If you're looking for a great metroid-vania type platformer you'll be well served by this game.
