Great game with brilliant story and great gameplay, sadly some things do really annoy me. Biggest issues I have with this game are the save system, I find it fairly confusing and lacking, and the open world aspect, because in my opinion this way the game has sacraficed one of the things that made the franchise so unique so it could be more like every other AAA game.
What can I say that has not been said. The art work is phenominal and pretty much the only reason why I bought it. Soundtrack is also good. Apart from that, the game is just another standart 2d platformer that based on the descriptions might be bit too self congratulatory or whatever. TLDR: Average platformer with amazing art.
