Fun metroidvania. I liked that it was different with using items you get as you progress instead of the dances. Nice change of pace. Great pixel art and character artwork as usual. Definitely improved art. 9.5/10

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse might honestly be one of the greatest 2D platformers I’ve ever played, and easily one of my favorites in the genre. The game feel is off the charts. The movement, exploration, characters, character designs, writing, and music are all fantastic. It has so much personality, and overall, it stands as one of the best games in its genre. Structurally, the game feels almost like a 2D Zelda-style adventure. Even when some of the plot points are comedically nonsensical, the humor stays consistent, and the whole game feels joyful because of it. The game knows how to be silly without feeling random, and it keeps that energy from start to finish. One of the strongest parts of the writing is the dynamic between Shantae and Risky Boots. Their interactions feel very in character, and the situation that forces them to work together feels fitting for both of them. It makes their back-and-forth a lot of fun, while still letting the game show different sides of its characters. The interactions with characters like Sky and Bolo are also great, and the game does a good job mixing humor with more serious moments where you learn more about certain characters. The dungeons are excellent, the exploration feels rewarding, and every island has its own gimmick that makes it memorable. At the same time, the islands are short enough that none of them overstay their welcome. The pacing is so strong that the game is simply a joy to play from start to finish. The music is amazing too. There are so many absolute bangers and memorable tracks that add even more charm and energy to the adventure. Overall, I completely stand by this: Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is one of the best platformers in the genre.

It's a nice game, but I don't think it's for me. It presents itself as a platformer, and there's definitely a lot of that, but the game is also an RPG with Metroidvania elements. You're constantly having to go back and forward between worlds while collecting items that unlock new areas and newer items for the game, all of these related to quests you recieve from different NPC's you meet throughout the experience. It's fine, and I really like the writing and art style, but I don't really play platformers to get RPG elements. I'm giving it a recommend because I think it's a well made, well written game. But I don't think it'll satisfy everyone looking for a more typical, run-of-the-mill platformer. If you skip cutscenes, or just want to play the game, you'll get lost... constantly; you will not know where to go. Also, this version has cloud support, which the GOG version for reasons, does not. So that's nice as well.

Good dialogue, tight platforming, very responsive inputs, and very good character design. Definitely one of the best Shantae games out there I highly recommend this!
