    While the game at times demands a level of execution that its design doesn’t always facilitate, its frustrations dent but don’t fully crack its wondrous sense of atmosphere.

    There are those who will enjoy Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, no doubt; those who revel in a challenge and who have the dexterity to overcome its airborne antics without breaking a sweat. On the whole, though, there’s nothing all that original or exciting here, and many of the obstacles put in your path simply frustrate rather than provide an enjoyable hurdle to get the better of.

    Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is a gorgeous game, featuring an incredible art style and sound design that strengthen an already colorful world that I want to explore. But getting around in the game is regularly a chore, and Bō's floaty, dance-like movements too often lead to frustrating deaths during platforming gauntlets. The game at least shines through its combat, and the story is exciting once it does actually get going--but there's just too much in the way to fully enjoy what the game does well.
