(level 1 route review)

I’m not gonna lie this game has always been in that small subsection of games that I’ve booted up briefly when they dropped on something I can access them and then I don’t touch them forever. I tend to have a “follow my heart” approach when it comes to picking a game to just hang out with (this is a good and pretty annoying thing), well I did not expect to sit down and beat this game in one sitting lmao and my opinion of it drastically changed but I highly respect its design and appreciate it a lot more now honestly.

While having 3D graphics that made me initially question if I truly was a human being with the ability to perceive depth, over time the game’s on rails design and pattern signaling really helped pull it through even with the rather basic vector graphics. I think it says a lot also that this was an early 3D game where Nintendo was not only trying to welcome new players (it’s probably why it’s this easy lol) but also added detail with your allies being in the fight and wildly different boss patterns. A lot of these things were improved on in the sequel Star Fox 64 but here it feels like the glue that kept the vectorized cardboard together, I went from completely wanting to drop this game to being a fan that says enough.

I am taking a damn break from it cause I also have motion sickness now lmao
