Just did a quick lil playthrough of Parappa this afternoon. An extremely mixed bag, I fear. There's a smattering of minor flaws like the cutscenes generally being kinda bad and the lyrics seeming like an afterthought half the time but those are both forgivable because they contribute to the shitty nostalgic Saturday morning cartoon vibes. What's really unforgivable is how nonsensical the note detection in this game is, like in the chicken stage I was only able to get through it by intentionally playing poorly and off the beat because I found that I would get more consistent successes that way than actually playing on beat. It's a shame that they didn't update any of the mechanical scoring stuff under the hood for this remaster because I would adore this game if it actually felt responsive. As it stands, I do still love a lot about this game, the songs are catchy and the vibes are delightful, but it just doesn't function very well.
