Played via Phantasy Reverie Series
Klonoa 2 is a massive improvement over the original Klonoa on most fronts. The game is bigger, more challenging, looks even better, and tells a story just as good and emotionally hitting with a more complete message compared to the original, which was more of a bittersweet gut punch overall.
Complaints wise, some of these stages drag on for way too fucking long, some going on for 20 minutes or longer, which makes going for 100% completion in a game with no room restarts not something I would ever bother doing. If missing a single collectable means going through 20-30 minutes of gameplay again, I'm not rebooting for that collectable. Though if you're just playing the game front to back and collecting things as you see, you'll have a much more enjoyable experience overall than if you went for 100%, similar to say, Crash 4.
