stop me if you've heard this from me before. 100% is a pain

but dammit this is a really strong platformer that took a lot of what I liked about the previous games and amped them up while also adding it's own twists. a true sequel's purpose fulfilled

never played the original games but hoo boy it looks like I missed out on some good shit

unfortunately, a letdown. speaking as someone who never played the original games. the first one was the only one I kinda liked for it's consistency and minimal backtracking. meanwhile the other two were frustrating and exhausting slogfests that go against a lot of what I value in platformers. at least it looks nice
