Bio
I play games with my wife and chronicle them here. I don't care about rating things, so it's either a half star for what I don't like, 5 stars for what I do like, and no rating for anything I neither like nor dislike, but respect. What actually matters are the thoughts and feelings that get written down.

Very solid game that's less ambitious in some respects than Wario Land 2, but still very neat, novel, and fun to play around and explore in.
Also like 2, it's nice to have a game that doesn't have lives to deal with, but there's definitely a point where the game takes its kids gloves off and decides to go all in on wasting your time with hallways full of things to just stunlock you without precise execution, and it relies way too much on "go through segment to find chest, go further to get key and get sent back to start, do segment again to get to chest."
It all wears a bit thin that getting all the treasures can be a pain as you try to remember what part of a level you were in a few hours ago has the chest you want, and there's simply no way I'd ever want to try to get all the coins in a level with how painful some of them can be.
I enjoyed playing, but I'm also glad to be done with it.

Genuinely fun, well-translated, cute, and frustrating (but in a good way) as you try to fend off the oomfies from interrupting your conversation with an idiot who occasionally gaslights you.
There's some minor gripes that can come from not knowing the wordlist at play, but any frustrations can be chalked up to Okuu being an absolute birdbrain who forgets that the animal youkai that came to visit was a human or that someone wanted to build a prison next to your mansion.

Fun enough little game that feels a bit more mechanically sound than the first Wario Land, if maybe not a bit more pared back. It's not as daring as what came before or what would come after, but it's solid all the same.
