Really fun and charming platformer! The hats really add a lot to the moment-to-moment gameplay (Even if you're mainly just using the Sprint Hat all the time...), but I don't care for the fact that the Hookshot Badge is so heavily used, which effectively gives you just 2 badge slots to work with, as one of the badges will almost always be the hookshot. Other than that, no complaints.
i like this game
i used to play this when i was a kid and now it just brings back so much memories w game
Gears are exceptionally tasteful, but I find Cogs to be more refined.
Прикольный платформер с приятной музыкой
One of the best 3D platformers out there. There's so much to explore and discover, and the music is absolutely fantastic. It captures that classic collectathon spirit without feeling dated. If you miss the golden age of 3D platformers, this is essential.
*DISCLAIMER* I do not rate games on their multiplayer aspect if I believe that it's single player experience is it's core ~ THIS GAME IS FOR ~ People who love a cartoonish and fun platformer with a surprisingly incredibly interesting story People who love Super Mario 64's movement and other 3D platformers ~ OVERALL ~ 🔲 1 🔲 2 🔲 3 🔲 4 🔲 5 🔲 6 🔲 7 🔲 8 ✅ 9 🔲 10 This game was an absolute blast to play, I loved the story and the gameplay of it, it didn't overstay its welcome and the new DLC offered a ton more to enjoy. ~ FUN (GAMEPLAY) ~ 🔲 I'd rather watch paint dry 🔲 Hard to enjoy 🔲 Turn off brain and relax 🔲 Actually pretty amusing ✅ I wish I could wipe my memory and play this again It was an absolute blast to figure out the puzzles in some missions and the boss fights were absolutely fun, great game that I wish I could redo my first experience with for sure ~ DIFFICULTY ~ 🔲 My 90 year old grandma could play it ✅ Easy 🔲 Normal 🔲 Hard 🔲 Dark Souls The game isn't very hard, it may seem like more of a kids game due to the graphics but it really isn't, there are some levels that are a bit difficult but I definitely wouldn't consider this game to be difficult compared to other 3D platformers out there ~ GRAPHICS (ART STYLE COUNTS) ~ 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad 🔲 Meh 🔲 Graphics don't matter in this 🔲 Good ✅ Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece I love the art style, and the direction that they went with, all the characters are adorable and match the theme of the game perfectly along with the personalities of each character ~ MUSIC ~ 🔲 Really Bad 🔲 Bad 🔲 Not special ✅ Good 🔲 Beautiful 🔲Add to my playlist The music in this game is really good, I wouldn't put it in Beautiful simply because of the style of the music and its nature, but it matches the gameplay and scenarios in the game really well and there are definitely its moments where you can hear the music and it really works for you ~ STORY ~ 🔲 This game has no story 🔲 Some bits of story 🔲 Story is there but doesn't leave any impact 🔲 Well written ✅ Really good story 🔲 Top tier story writing Great story, I wouldn't say top tier due to the overarching story being a little bit basic but each chapter holding its own story is very interesting, and getting the storybooks in each chapter to showcase the origin story of each chapter was very good, at the end of each chapter being able to see why everything came to be was just the icing on the cake for me, overall great story writing ~ PRICE ~ (DEPENDS ON REGION) 🔲 It's free 🔲 Under-priced ✅ Perfect Price 🔲 Could be cheaper/Wait for a sale 🔲 Overpriced/Wait for a large sale 🔲 Complete waste of money The game really isn't that expensive for the content you get, I would definitely say it's a perfect price and worth every penny ~ REQUIREMENTS ~ 🔲 You can run it on a microwave/toaster 🔲 School computer ✅ Average 🔲 High end 🔲 NASA computer Running on a Legion GO ~ LENGTH ~ (Full Achievements and Main Story) (Not Multiplayer) 🔲 Extremely Short (60 minutes or less) 🔲 Very Short (1 - 3 hours) 🔲 Short (3 - 15 hours) ✅ Average (15-50 hours) 🔲 Long (50-90 hours) 🔲 Extremely long (90-110 hours) 🔲 Long Long Man (110+ hours) Normal run length, not too long and not too short, doesn't overstay its welcome but is also long enough that it doesn't feel like a mini-game ~ REPLAYABILITY~ ✅ One and done 🔲 Multiple Endings 🔲 Fun to replay over and over 🔲 Infinite replayability/Active Modding community The core gameplay is fun and there is an argument to be made for infinite replayability as there are community maps that are still being made and you can genuinely just replay this game over and over again, but in my opinion without the feeling of progression I do not see myself replaying this game until it has gone off my mind and I would want to replay the whole game. The community maps are fun and seem great to go through but for me as a player I need that feeling of progression to keep myself interested in a game ~ Extra Thoughts ~ The game was a great time, and it is definitely worth your time and money The ending can be reached without having to finish every chapter which some may or may not like but I would recommend collecting all the time pieces as this will unlock the time rift to see the story behind the moustache girl just as a closing remark to the game
Great platformer. As of 2026 seems to have a lot of issues. Every time I launched the game something different was broken. Resolution problems, input detected message every time I press a button on my controller, action prompts only showing KB+M even though I'm using a controller. I tried two PCs and monitors and still had issues. Please fix game.
A great, beautiful, fun game, it's been a long time since I've seen a beautiful platform game like this. I recommend this game.
