SMBW is a truly incredible game that completely overturns the panorama of 2-D platformers, the levels of the various worlds always have different mechanics, the wonder flowers are also beautiful and the shape of the level completely changes, plus there are also new power-ups (the elephant mushroom, auger or the bubble flower) which necessarily serve to discover various secrets or give you a great hand in the levels. Furthermore, in this game badges have been added that give particular powers such as gliding, climbing a wall, running faster or making a higher jump. Here, although these also serve to help you in the levels, some badges are much stronger than others. If I had to list the flaws of the game they would be two:


the character roaster, now I understand the implementation of characters that make the game easier but was there really a need to put five differently colored yoshis instead of bringing back characters like lusamine or implementing some never seen before like Wario or Waluigi?


the second flaw in my opinion is the lack of more detailed and complex levels for the badges given that their challenges are more about just getting used to it.


for the rest, the game truly remains a masterpiece in the gaming panorama and a must have for all platform lovers and my final rating is 9. 6.

time hollow is a nice title all things considered, it is definitely not a game where I would say: "OMFG THIS GAME IS FUCKING GOOD", but all in all it is still very nice to play, the hollow pen gameplay is fun to use except in one specific point of the game and some quite annoying gameplay solution the rest is just ok, the characters are very nice even if as I said before nothing transcendental but in any case the interactions between them are very beautiful, recommended if you are a lover of time travel.

I fucking loved this game, from the animations with beautiful puzzles and the always original bosses, I didn't honestly feel this need for progression that a lot of people said and that bothered them, and then there are still new augments for the rooms. the only criticisms I feel I have to say is that there are few types of enemies and then honestly I would have liked some descriptions for the bosses like in the first chapter, even if the bosses are well characterized by the chutscene, one last thing to say is that there are other additions in this chapter that can be expanded and improved with a hypothetical fourth chapter.

very interesting as a title, it combines in a very convincing way the gameplay of luigi'mansion with the metroidvania, for now there is the Demo with the first two stages so I can't give it more than three stars but I can't wait for the new update with the Third Stage, Recommended you have LM fans.


edit: I played today the new version of the game with a part of the third stage and I liked it a lot, the new element of the sand but even if a nice idea is a little difficult to use since you have to be precise but for the rest I liked it very much.
