I really wanted to like this game so much. And really, there's a lot to like. The whole style of the game is great, with some really fun dialogue, some awesome music, and some pretty decent level design overall.

But that camera. It was infuriating to deal with. Only really being able to turn it in 8 directions did not work very well in a lot of places, especially towards the end. As well, there's the fact that the camera will sometimes just decide to flip to a random direction if it runs into a wall and that can and will make you fall off of ledges and it's just so annoying and frustrating.
It probably didn't help that I played this game on the Switch online version, with drifting joycons, so precision platforming was near impossible. But even with a good controller, the physics are just so slippery and awkward, that making precise jumps is way harder than it should be.

I think I do still like the game, but that camera really hurt the experience for me.
