Not bad, really not bad
I’m more of a casual platformer player so take this review form such perspective. First of all, the game is wrapped around a very simplistic story. Everything is then sprinkled with somewhat comical, may be sarcastic dialogs but at least for me these were bland and totally not funny restroom wall humour type. I think I’m getting old though. Moving on, you run around though several areas with a good variety of enemies and visually pleasant level design. There are shops, side quests, possibility to get maps of the locations and quick travel between main areas. Each area may have a secret or two locations that give extra goodies. Nothing revolutionary but still nice to have. Generally, very light entertainment. Now to the game mechanics. I was playing with a PS4 controller and the layout was fairly intuitive. Fights were short and to be hones the enemies were actually not hard with two exceptions, more annoying than difficult exceptions. Bosses were also not exceedingly hard but fights were not really engaging. Small space and very limited number of attacks. On top of that I was missing some key combination to have a quick access the backpack during battles. Usually, I had to run a bit away and frantically use buffs and such. Mind the game was not paused in this time. Platforming was ok but at times the placement of platforms or spring platforms was lets call it odd… . Because of that in the early game I have got trapped in deeper holes and could not get out in the “obvious way”. Now a couple of really big minuses: I absolutely hated bombs placement, basically guarantee to get hurt at some point. Shops where not refilling the stock and farming for cash was at some point getting boring. Secret places do not update on the map so if you go for the achievement, you must start making notes the old way. Some breakable floors were very difficult to notice thus robing you from some of the best stuff in the game. All in all still a very decent entertainment.
