More interesting than good, the story is fine, the gameplay is fine, everything is fine. The only real standout part of this game is the dialogue, the characters here are absolutely insane and hearing their random quips interjected throughout your hours of cutting down waves of enemies gives just enough motivation to explore the games different endings.
This game grows on you considerably as you play. Each route adds just enough details to the overall mystery to keep you thinking. It's a slow drip of information that encourages you to solve the mystery and theorize for yourself rather than just going along with the ride. The puzzles are similar in having that perfect level of complexity. They make you think but aren't so obtuse that you ever feel like anything is impossible. No convoluted sequences you need to follow, no pixel hunts, just short logic puzzles you can solve in one sitting. When you reach a plot revelation or solve a puzzle, you feel good knowing you figured things out on its own. It's a fairly short and simple game, but it knows exactly where to focus to give you a fantastic experience to the end. Just don't quit after getting the knife ending, that left a sour taste in my mouth on my first try.
One of the best platformers I've played. High energy, amazing music, incredibly fun level design. The gameplay is simple but each level makes the most of it and it works for all levels of play. You can slowly struggle your way through each level and wont be penalized for it if you want a more casual experience, or if you want to get the highest rank of every level you can roll around at the speed of sound like some Italian hedgehog.
