While mechanically simple, this game is just a blast to play. Collecting gems is just fun, and exploring new areas, enemies, and music tracks is so enjoyable, it has you excitedly wondering what is next. The level design is great and the overall atmosphere is unforgettable and is sure to leave an impression. The controls are a bit wonky at times (particularly the camera and sometimes the glide falls short and death feels a little lame). The bosses leave room for improvement, however the gameplay loop is so enjoyable that it does not affect the experience for me. This is one of Playstation's best and it deserves its reputation.
