This is a decent platformer for the era. The playtime is just about right, I doesn't outstay its welcome. Visually, the game is nice - there is a great variety in the different areas and it succeeds in making the world feel like a cohesive whole. The story was very basic, and the humour was not really to my tastes but tolerable. Exploring and finding all the items is satisfying - as you'd expect! It feels like a strange mash-up of Crash Bandicoot and an N64 collectathon, it's clear Naughty Dog took a lot of inspiration from Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie.

Controls are a bit annoying in places, particularly the camera - but also the double jump was a bit inconsistent for me. I felt like many of the things that went wrong weren't my fault.. but perhaps that's just me being used to modern games having a bit more leeway in their controls. When I took my time with the platforming, mostly it went well. A couple of times there were areas where it felt very difficult to gauge depth and I just kept jumping into a pit.

Despite control issues, the game is fairly easy - there are checkpoints sprinkled throughout the levels and no limit to lives, so you can just keep trying until you get it.

Overall, I enjoyed this game and would recommend it to fans of 3D platformers/collectathons - just remember this is a 20+ year old game and it feels like it!
