This game has so much heart in it. There's a lot to be said about the difficulty and how it is a little brutal in that regard, however the additions of shields make the difficulty a lot more manageable.

This is a really truly clever platformer, with a really truly touching and funny story. I just don't know why there are some points of this game that feel almost too loved. There is a segment where you have to play a bunch of old retro games (not real retro games, but fun nods to them) and you have to do well with some of these games. My biggest frustration was being stuck on that.

It's a bit slow, a bit too long, but I don't regret playing it to completion.
