The only thing in Phoenotopia that isn’t at least great is the combat, which starts off as frustrating but improves to satisfying but overall okay. It’s a shame the ending is rushed as hell and only serves to set up a sequel that’s like a decade away, if it even comes out at all. It still works as a charming standalone adventure with an absolutely flabbergasting amount of things to do. I’m dead serious it took me over 40 hours to first beat this game and that was with 65% completion.
