I feel like this gameplay style has a lot of potential. Like the focus on long levels, reactionary platforming and multiple playable characters combined with a fleshed out Fire and Ice mechanic would be peak 2D Sonic. And it felt like that at times. But everything else from the story, music and locations feels... Soulless. The entire plot feels like the most unambitious, low stakes plot ever. It actually felt deflating to play at times. It's one of those times where gameplay can't entirely carry a game
