People have recently said this about Sonic Frontiers which I completely disagree with but I think you just gotta stick with this and it gets good. Not because you're conditioning yourself into liking it but because the beginning (like most platformers) is undercooked. Not a fault just the necessary difficulty curve.
I bought this for £30 to be my "lil bro" game. Both he & I wanted it but when we first starting playing it, I started wishing I hadn't spent that much. It was Mario 3D World [one of my favourite games] but sooooo slow. Like, for real 3D World is so fluid and with this you have to break the O button to get a fraction of the speed you get in that game.
But you get used to that, especially thanks to the Knitted Knight Trials and Remix levels, and the game becomes a total blast. I didn't like any of the music levels apart from Toxin but it is cool that the levels sync up to the beat. Aside from that, the original score is fantastic. Really great stuff!
Visually, it's fantastic. Level design in, not just gameplay, but appearance is marvelous. But in terms of gameplay, the boss fights do stick out to me. This is just a really good co-op platformer collectathon. The friend levels are great. The puzzles are solid. Collecting orbs were never too easy or too difficult. Character customisation is a lot of fun.
It's no 3D World but this does have a lot to offer that 3D World doesn't! But when it comes to core gameplay, 3D World really has it beat. Still, playing this charming little romp and getting the platinum trophy was really rather swell. I know fans of the Little Big Planet didn't really appreciate this spin-off all too well but I would really welcome another one of these as someone who only played 3 and did not care for it at all.
lil bro rates it: 3.5 cos he kept dying a lot
