[Klonoa 2]

What a game. Klonoa 1 is a great game but comparatively a very safe one. While Klonoa 2 doesn't always nail the execution of everything, it's a significantly more ambitious game in every aspect, and therefore holds my interest and commands my respect far more than the first game, for as brilliant as it was.

Glorious visual design behind each stunning level, lots of interesting setpieces and spectacle moments and a really engaging story that kept me emotional the whole way through. I adore Klonoa 2, the numerous spectacular highs far outside the few clumsy lows.

Give this game a proper shot if you enjoyed 1, I went in expecting a downgrade as I was told to, and instead received a game that far supercedes it and rightfully claims its crown. A must play for platforming fans.
