    Umihara Kawase Fresh! is presented smartly, if quite bizarrely. Its movement system is fiendish, sometimes frustrating, sometimes free-flowing. Unfortunately, it asks a lot of the player and manages to hide its best bits. The level and boss design are unlikely to inspire anyone, especially when already taken to wit’s end by the stuttering difficulty, but that’s not enough to undo the game’s unique charm. If you’re already an Umihara fan then Umihara Kawase Fresh! will give you your fix like nothing else. For anyone else, it’s harder to love – but not impossible.

The game exclusively uses a mission-based structure that makes everything too linear and tedious. They added a hunger meter which adds nothing of value to the game and is just annoying. It still has the cool physics that the series is known for, but why play this when you could play the other games which are much better? Expand
