A fun 2D platformer
First things first. I played the entire game under (Arch) Linux using Lutris. The game runs butter smooth with no hiccups, including controller support. The game itself is fun and light. The characters and the levels are colorful and varied. The soundtrack is captivating. The character avatars in dialogues are high-res, while the in-game characters and the backgrounds look old-school. Level exploration mixes looking for secrets, platforming and enemy bashing. All those things are mixed in a successful way, so none of them is neither boring nor frustrating: secrets may require some intuition to be found, but none of them is ridiculously hard. Also, the platforming may be challenging but it never gets to the "rage quit" level, although some sequences near the end require very tight timings to advance. Shantae learns new abilities while advancing in the story, and this leads to some backtracking: you can go back to areas already explored and use your new powers to reach areas there were above (or below) your reach during the first visit. You can only save at save points, which are not excessively distant from one another and always present before a boss battle, so even if you die you don't have to repeat long game chunks over and over again. Overall, a very good game I'd recommend to platformers fans, knowing you can play it on Linux without hassle.
