Boy, what a game this is. Don't let the score fool you!
Pizza tower is a gem. A Wario Land-esque title that brings all the joy of that game and then some. So many positives to be found here. The characters, the level designs, the soundtrack, the overall aesthetic that comes together? Great stuff!
That being said, some levels and level gimmicks certainly felt like misses which diminished some of the gameplay. The boss fights took some getting used to. The controls and overall design of the game aren't quite my speed, so it was a struggle at the beginning.
Overall, this is a game I like but don't love. It's clear to me the appeal this game has and why its achieved the acclaim it has. At the same time, I'm unable to hit that same level of enjoyment and enthusiasm that others have for it. This is by no point a knock on the game, just a situation where it's not my slice of pizza (HA!!!!!), which is perfectly okay. The score here is my own enjoyment of the game, at the end of the day.
Still though: buy this game! I'm glad to have enjoyed the wackiness it brought to the table. It's not too exhausting long as to overstay its welcome and there's plenty of replayability if you'd like to truly master what has been served here. Take a bite out of this one and try it for yourself.
