Pros: Feeling “in the zone” as you pull off an incredible 30 second feat of uninterrupted first class platforming.
Cons: The thousands of deaths that precede that feeling.

Great fun playing with my four year old; I'd never before enjoyed collecting cosmetics in a game like this but now I'm all about dressing up in silly masks.

Came for the cozy fishing game, stayed for the cosmic horror and inventory management.

Delightful bite size Mario platformer. Finished main campaign but still half way through the special worlds.

Pretty mind melting puzzle fun. Honestly I got pretty lost a few times and had to brute force it a little. Love a good five hour game.

Had a blast playing this with my four year old!

Masterpiece; perfect mix of accessible fun and challenge (when going after all 3 coins in each level and the secret exits). The enemies and powerups dancing in time to the music is absolutely chef's kiss.

Gameplay was fun but writing was pretty average indeed.

Streamlined and funny re-entry to the series. A few of the final puzzles seemed hilariously opaque; but thankfully the built in hint system took away the frustration. Love the new art style.

Hauntingly melancholic score and a surprisingly playable dice roll game mechanic. Will be thinking about some of the sad and beautiful characters for a long time.

I loved the characters and much of the moment to moment storytelling, but the overall storyline has a lot of pacing issues alternating between glacially slow and galloping far too quickly. Honestly I had to really force myself to finish this; but I am glad I did as the ending has a lot of emotional payoff.

Pretty fun, but felt pretty grindy after beating the first couple of bosses and a big difficulty spike.

Cute cat, great world building, beautiful art direction, and a reasonably fun puzzle platformer.
