Top 50 Favorites: #34

Not quite LittleBigPlanet levels of delicate ethereal, and it also noticeably lacks the variety of those games (even LBP3) but nonetheless stands tall as a dazzling sensory experience. In its finest moments feels like you're strolling through your own, most cherished nostalgic memories - with a folk score and emotionally-charged lighting effects that are both just out of this world. It has its quirks, some of the platforming is a little wonky - but come on, LOOK at this. Seriously just look at it and try to argue with anything you're seeing. Story is simple but touching, takes a backseat to the artistic showcase - though given the context and sheer feeling this thing conjures up I think that ultimately works in its favor. Just a lovely creation, brimming with warmth.
