Not having played the original I was able to go into this one blind, and I absolutely loved it. A fantastic mix of puzzle elements of varying complexity and light combat that rarely seemed overly daunting but always managed to maintain the oppressive atmosphere.
A fun little game built around nostalgia of the N64 era, the option to add the hazy filter really helps capture the magic of old gaming. For the game itself, the story is a little thin and is very clearly inspired by spyro but works for driving the mechanics and the gradual increase in difficulty. Overall a great short platformer with a few complex puzzles that can keep you entertained for a while
