Jesus this game was tough as nails. But it's a great showcase for the crank and has a fun story about a guy who wishes he was a man one inch tall that could bounce on a playdate crank for ten years.

It’s really close to being the perfect JRPG. But some story beats, tired gameplay mechanics, and awful music keep it from being a 5/5 for me. Played on Series X. Originally started on Switch, but I didn’t find handheld fitting for this game. Completed 99% of the game. Only unfinished stuff was 509/740 bestiary and 883/975 items acquired. Didn't play 2D mode (feels under baked). Best song is Light through the Leaves of Love Symphonic.

First game on my FIRST Steam Deck.
Yes my first Steam Deck...it has a stuck pixel and is going to be returned for a new unit. I'm really not surprised Valve went back to Portal because they've used Portal to show off most their hardware so far. I am surprised that they added so much to the lore about Cave and the turrets in 30 minutes. Fun game! Please make Portal 3 :)
