Everything you can make out of this game all boils down to this secretly being a love story between Zero and Accord.
Perhaps this is beyond my functional requirements as a Recorder but, I cannot shake the feeling that somehow, somewhere, Zero is still alive...and that someday. Someday, she and I will see each other again.
THIS SILENCE IS MINE

Every day, a million babies are born in the United States alone. Many of these babies climb out of vaginas. Others, the storks bring them. Some are born out of slime in paradox space thanks to a special video game your mommy used to play. But regardless of how these babies may be born, they all come into the world with a special force...called LOVE. This...is that story.
I see nothing wrong with sharing thoughts, feelings and opinions online for a piece of art gets published. Perhaps being respectful regarding your thoughts is the best way to go about it, but this is a work of art and a video game that’s in this website’s database. I have confidence in this video game and this artist’s work. I’m especially confident the creator of this video game is confident to share it as such too. Video games exist to serve purposes like this one does.

A magnum opus in envoking mystical atmosphere confidently mastered in it’s Playstation presentation. Possibly even an almost perfect game which captures a specific sort of ethereal wonder that drives my emotions to the point of difficulty to explain what I’m even talking about. It intertwines it’s visual magic and it’s colorful music to a unique dream-like joy that can only be explained by experiencing yourself.
Now, I call this game ‘almost-perfect’ as I immediately get sent back to “playing-a-video-game-in-my-room” reality when I’m playing this to explore it’s environments only to drift off the coded bounds or begin failing the in-game assigned mission while that one unsettling song starts playing. It totally wakes me up from the nostalgic daze I get immersed in. The missions themselves aren’t necessarily that fun and a free roam option would’ve completed this games purpose. I would’ve also been more than happy to see more environments to explore but that’s literally only just want for more of this game I’m so fond of. I am at least grateful for how infinite these landscapes feel despite those classic 90’s video game limitations. I find it easy to daydream about what kind of people live and work in these buildings or what ventures out the bounds of the maps, similar imaginative feelings I get from playing other games from this era such as Spyro the Dragon, and so on and so forth.
I recommend at least trying to experience designing your own hot-air balloon with that gorgeous soundtrack playing alongside and see if you forget about your life’s woes at least for a little bit. This review might come off as a little vague but the point I want to make clear ultimately is my suggestion to look into this one to see if the magic works for you too.

It’s fun and gorgeous to look at, but this felt more like playing with a collection of pretty toys than progressing through a fantastic video game experience. I enjoyed my time with this but I wish I understood more of the acclaim of this being the best game of the franchise, or even of all time. There are plenty of more difficult Mario games and even other 3D platformer games I’ve had more fun with anyways, as the easy difficulty of this didn’t engage me very much.
