I'll start by saying this isn't a bad 6. The game is fine but to me it has already been done better. It is basically Giana Sister's Twisted Dreams with a completely different aesthetic.

It just did it so much better, as Giana Sister's was much more fun. The fact that this has gone for a very chilled vibe, kind of clashes with frantic platform fun for me.
It does have an art style similar to Ori and I even got some Never Alone vibes from this, so if you are a big fan of that style then you will probably like this game.
It is well polished, with something that is important for me and that is tight, accurate controls. It looks nice, sounds nice, plays nice but that is it, it is just nice. It lacks wow factor. Am I glad I bought it yes. If it wasn't for having a PS4 that I occasionally get PS Now on (which has Giana Sister's bundled in and that was also on sale at the same time as this) then there would be no choice but as it is I don't need the same game on two consoles, so this is nice to add a bit of variety.and something a little different in my Switch collection.
Like I said at the start 6 is a good score. There is just not enough spark there to rate it higher, I'm certainly not going to put it up there with the likes of Ys and Fire Emblem and Garou but it is a great game and many others will probably score this higher if the chilled out vibe suits them.… Expand
