I didn't know what to expect from this. I kinda felt it might be a gentle wander through nature, and it is, but the handling of the gliding is absolutely incredible. I keep returning to it just to soar around the cliffside. A beautiful thing.
It looks absolutely wonderful and it's a delight to play through but I had expected more interactive environments beyond some tuggable sheets and shuddering shelves and it's very short, even to 100%.
Adored this back in the day but found the early stages a bit of a slog. Really picks up as it goes though, and the bosses are very inventive, even by modern standards (they were INCREDIBLE back then).
Mario Kart 8 iterates on 7's ideas to the point where it makes it a little redundant but that doesn't stop it being an excellent game in its own right and I do miss its Wuhu Island courses.
This was waaaaay better than it needed to be. Decent on-rails shooter sections and wonderful grounded exploratory combat with satisfying dodges and a difficulty slider that boosts the intensity and loot. An incredible amount of irreverent chatter too, well delivered.
