Okay so this my introduction to Klonoa, so I'm gonna rate this without knowing how the original games are like, but this was an amazing experience. Everything was just so pleasant from the moment I started. Short but really sweet (and honestly we need more short games these days imo). The puzzles were really creative; challenging but not too difficult. The level design was also really well executed too, being a side-scrolling platformer that really took advantage of it being a 3D game. And the stories are really great too. Phantomile was especially emotional for how short it was, but Lunatea was still really delightful. I'd like to go back someday to 100% this game cuz of how fun it was. While the backtracking is done really well, I did sometimes get annoyingly lost. With this being a remake, they could've made a couple of small adjustments to prevent that from happening. But overall a really great couple of 2.5D platformer games. I think they should try making an open world Klonoa game honestly because it seems like they wanted to have that vibe but had to work with limitations.
