    I was disappointed that the HD Edition did not come with some new content. It’s a shame that this pleasant, relaxing adventure last only two hours, because I really grew fond of Leo. [12/2015, p.57]

    Mindless Platformer
    Leo’s Fortune is really the first mindless platformer I’ve ever played.
    I say mindless, because I didn’t feel my brain being engaged even a little.
    I will give credit to the feel of the game and its platforming, it feels perfect
    But the platforming is insanely simple, the puzzles are insanely simple and there is hardly any risk.
    This feels very much like a beginners platformer.
    Leo’s fortune is much like LIMBO in a sense that it’s very much focused on trial and error, not so much with the environment though, but with its platforming.
    Checkpoints are almost instantaneous which leads to a very casual experience.
    Sure the floatiness of the platforming will lead to hundreds of deaths, but
    anyone can get through Leo’s Fortune with no issues.
    Casually going through Leo’s world can be a good thing, but it leads to this experience ultimately feeling unsatisfying.
    The color and art design is beautiful in Leo’s Fortune but I still found the majority of the levels to feel pretty bland.
    Proof that pretty isn’t really enough…
    There’s no real personality to the game or it’s world.
    Leo of course is adorable as a teal blob with a mustache, but you don’t really feel a connection to him or the story going on.
    You spend the game following your gold, trying to reclaim your fortune.
    Thrown at you are super simple physics based puzzles, obstacles, and falling sections that are really just there.
    You’re pushing forward non stop.
    The game feels almost like a dumbed down version of Super Meatboy, Limbo, Rayman, and Sonic The Hedgehog all mixed together.
    There are 20 main levels that take around 5 to 6 minutes each to complete your first time through, and 4 bonus levels that act as mini games.
    These minigames are unlocked by you collecting all of the gold in each level, passing levels without dying, and by speed running them.
    this is where the challenge can set in if you feel as though the game has intrigued you enough to want to replay these levels.
    But like I said, these levels aren’t special.
    They aren’t memorable.
    They honestly feel like LittleBigPlanet community creations.
    That being said I still loved mindlessly playing through this game.
    I loved watching the story unfold, and the pay off was worth the 2 hour journey to the credits.
    Leo’s Fortune is worth a play through for platforming fans that maybe want a break from the stresses of the world, just don’t be surprised if you’re not craving more by the games end.
