Yeah this game had the sauce. Platforming schmoved and the boss fights went hard. The story was uncomplicated but it wasn't uninteresting either. I actually kinda liked the simplicity in the story.
The E.M.M.I.'s were sick as hell, too. I thought the horror aspects of the game were really intriguing. I do wish they would've went harder on the horror, but I understand that it was just a T-rated Nintendo game.
The metroidvania style map flowed from one part of the story to the next in a smooth way... for the most part. There were a few times that I didn't have any idea where to go and it was frustrating. The map layout was good but not not perfect; I understand why they didn't have fast travel but I think I would've appreciated it at parts. Having to run across the map to get somewhere got a little annoying at times.
Also, I absolutely hated the double jump feature. Having to time it just right was annoying and caused me to die in many instances.
Overall I'd recommend this game to anyone who wants some really fun gameplay without caring too much about a deep story.
75/100
