This was very disappointing after I was so impressed with Skylanders Superchargers on replay. Patrick Warburton is great of course but the change in directors is painfully obvious. The humor feels like a more hollowed-out Spyro's Adventure and the jokes fell flat for me about as often as they landed. It is far more concerned with reference humor a la Skylanders: Swap Force than it is with the tightly written clever jokes throughout Skylanders Giants. Another big problem I had with this is that, outside of maybe a couple scenes, this game just doesn’t benefit from being Skylanders, and they don’t use the premise in any particularly interesting ways. The animation is beautiful, as is with all the Skylanders games, but I was left wondering what would really change about this game were it not Skylanders. There were still parts of this I liked, and there were a couple good jokes here and there, but overall it’s just a letdown, especially in comparison to its predecessor.
