played the main story with my little brother. the gameplay by itself is kind of fun but every other element actively works against that, bringing some absolutely nonsensical profundity in the background and taking place in some obnoxiously colorless environments aiming for realism over life, it's dumb. it's a little harder more challenging to the brain than kirby's epic yarn but it possesses none of the soul and color (literally) that makes that game utterly charming.
