This game is truly a hidden gem. I never hear people talking about it online but its a really unique platformer with a lot of style.
De Blob is a silent protagonist with an attitude. He’s simple, yet relatable. In a way he’s a lot like 90’s sonic.
The theme of colour and fun breaking through and defeating the sadness and mundane is cute. The cutscenes between the levels are a good touch to motivate the player to free the residents of a life of depression and bring colour to their lives.
But this game lacks in some important aspects. Movement in the air is clunky and since its a platformer this flaw cannot be overlooked. Some levels drag on. Short, focused leves would work way better Than sandboxes that can take a good while to finish.
This franchise never really took off and thats a shame, with just a little bit of extra love it could have been something great. This game has been rereleased on other consoles but without reworking the flaws it’s an outdated game. Without serious fixes and markett, I cant see it becoming a hit.

Is the starfox IP doomed to just be starfox 64 remakes untill it just stops to exist? This game controls just awful. I always forget just how not-fun this game is to play.
When the gameplay isn’t fun there isn’t much one can do to redeem the product. The visuals are bland and simple, wich works for an on-rails shooter. The story is simple and you cant get invested because you’re constantly fighting with the controls.
This game is super short. Starfox games are made to be replayed, so you can try to take a diffrent route each time. But after my first playthrough I had no intent of ever returning.
The only way forward for this franchise is to reinvent the genre like mario and zelda do for there genres. On-rails shooters were new and inventive once upon a time. now the genre has gone stale and nobody’s really interested in the genre. I feel like an open space exploration game with “on rail shooter sections” would work much better than a full game in this style nowadays.

This game is fun overall. I fell in love with the series with “bowsers inside story” and wanted more, so I played dream team. This game turned out to be a mixed bag. But i would still recommand it.
The gameplay is still genius. RPG’s can become really repetetive. But this series knows how to keep the player active and involved. If this review was only about the gameplay it would be scored much higher.
You can somwhat costumize your builds after each level-up. But be carefull, because the wrong choises in spread between power and defence can have major consequences. This is a genius concept for experienced players who want more challange and are rewarded with shorter battles or newer players who really need to be able to take an extra hit. But unexperienced players making bad choises here can really mess up the flow of the game.
But an RPG isn’t all about gameplay. Story and characters are important in this genre and here the cracks start to form. I think the writers ran out of juice. The plot isn’t intresting at all and most characters are 2 dimensional compared tot the great character development of bowsers inside story. I think this is also the reason they remade their older games instead of making new ones and this decision finally bankrupted alphadream.
The visuals are decent, not as lively as the pixelart of the previous titles, but still very impressive for the 3ds. The music is ok, with nothing that really sticking in your head after the journey is over.
The world lay-out is not that great, wit a lot of backtracking. But its fun to see another location than the mushroom kingdom. The constant hand-holding the game does is also very annoying, there’s a menu where everything is explained in great detail but still this game forces you into unnecessary tutorials. I’d say this game has over an hour of unskippable, unnecessary tutorials spread throughout.
Overall this game is good. If it were the only one in the franchise it would definately be rated higher, but it isn’t and it can’t live up to the previous titles.
I may be hard on this but I was just disappointed with the overall experience. Exept for gameplay nothing here is special or memorable. This franchise fell from grace, to eventually dissapear and this is where the decline started.
