An incredibly well-designed game. Complex, deep, and skill testing (whether against the AI or another player), while still being accessible. If you're up for the challenge and are ready to engage with some deep gameplay, go for it, because it can feel deeply rewarding. The things surrounding the periphery of the gameplay (single-player; character customization/micro-transactions) are inoffensive at best, but if you end up liking them, a bonus.

It's quality work. Naughty Dog has done a great job with production, writing, casting... all facets, really. But when it comes down to it, this a straightforward---utterly linear--cinematic experience interwoven with the bare minimum of what can be considered "gameplay". It's a small series of traversal scenarios, puzzles, traversal-puzzles, and glorified shooting galleries. And if you're up for it, some hidden object gameplay. A fun romp, sure, but mostly vapid. Maybe the multiplayer was good?

Incredibly weird and quirky, but most surprisingly, very aesthetically pleasing in look and sound. It doesn't quite play right, but it's so weird and quirky, that it's worth checking out for Mario fans, if only because it demands so little of your time.
