On-the-nose visual metaphor that is almost as funny as the main character's overall design. A 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' type of game - has nothing to say about depression or trauma besides lovingly painted watercolour renditions of the images you get when you Google Image search those words. I wish this was affecting, but it just left me bored and frustrated.

"This game would be really good if gacha wasn't in it"
No it wouldn't. The stories suck, the exploration is either super monotonous and unrewarding or mind-numbingly tedious with some okay rewards. The combat is nothing more than pressing 2 Q E 3 E 4 Q E 1 Q E or whatever the fuck and repeating that exact keystroke cycle. Also every form of movement is super slow and I think they did that just to crank up playtime.

It feels weird to say the best Shantae game is the one that features none of Shantae's original abilities, but that's just how it is. Pirate's Curse continues the series' legacy of gorgeous sprite art, great music and quirky characters, adding in some of the most fun movement options of a 2D platformer in recent memory, and makes for an all around excellent title I can recommend to anyone looking for a great time with either Metroidvanias, or just 2D platformers in general.

I have genuinely played this game, this is not a joke at all, I think I made it to like AR45 a year ago. This game fucking sucks so much ass. Boring ass grind with damage sponge enemies. Flashy combat with no depth. Snooze fest story. You can't deny this game tries to mimic BOTW and it does not do a single thing better. Play a better game, NOW!
