Hoping for an synthwave version of OutRun, I picked this up on sale and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. There's horrible clicking sounds interrupting the music, and the game just feels very basic and unfinished (despite the in-game message that it's out of early access).
This is one of my favorite games from my childhood. The story is pretty fun, and the gameplay is tight, but what really stands out to me even now is the soundtrack. Maui Mallard has some of the best music in my video game experience. I'm super happy that this game has finally made it to modern systems, because it was extremely difficult to get and run on modern systems. If you're a fan of platformers with unique and varying levels, interesting and dynamic gameplay, and humor, then this is the game for you. Maui transforms and you can actively switch his form to take advantage of different environments. There are secrets galore, and the replayability is great too.
