A incredibly charming 4 hour open world exploration game, where you play as the titular Lil Gator and – with the help of your chums – turn the island you’re on into an imagined adventure game (cardboard crafted monsters included) so that your older sister will play with you like she used to. Full of wonderful and funny writing with several nods to everyone’s favourite Hyrulian hero, all moving briskly towards an ending that hit me more than I imagined this game could deliver. The best game I’ve played that borrows heavily from Breath Of The Wild’s move set, my only quibble would be wanting at least some evolution with the ‘combat’. A great example to show that open world doesn’t have to mean 30+ hours.
