Nah, I can see why this might be popular amongst retro-gamers, but to me this didn't look or feel like the SNES classic did. I gave in at the boss fight right before you get the airship, probably under leveled because he could wipe out my whole party even though I had two who could cast healing spells. And grinding as a game mechanic to be at the "right" level is not a function I miss from the old days.
This has to be a somewhat hidden gem from recent year. If you love Tim Burton's stop motion movies you're going to love this game's artstyle because they wear their influence out in the open. And there's so much to look and marvel at that sometimes it feels like the gameplay gets in the way.
The world building and character gallery is absolutely amazing and the amount of creativity poured into this game is wild. The only negative thing regarding this, is that the game is VERY monologue heavy, as in at lot of the side characters are fleshed out with a lot of back story and boy to they want you to hear ALL of it. Sadly sometimes less is more, because after the first few worlds it starts to get a bit exposition-y.
The balance between exploring and figthing is okay, but towards the end the battles tends to be a bit on the repetitive side, and even though the mix between action and deck builder is fun to begin with it lacks the necessary depth or "fun" factor to last through the whole game.

Nice, like a cup of tea. Probably won't remember it a year from now, but enjoyed it and could have one more later on.
Played on Nintendo Switch. Nothing too demanding puzzle wise, but quite annoying not being able to rebind the buttons, that would've made the action parts less clunky.
