Mixed title. Overall positive but there are several issues with the game.
This is a a 3D collect-a-thon platformer, with a movement system that grows as you progress through the game, without any combat. You later get a vehicle and some projectiles (that are only used to break a few stationary obstacles or rocks. The movement mechanics aren't super precise, but when you have the full set you can get some good speed chaining dashes into air boosts. The movement does feel fun to execute.
The zones expand as you progress through the game. After the tutorial, you have 3 zones where you're limited when you enter, need to collect enough earth to access a series of trials, which will give an ability to partially open the zone. The zone will partially open at this point, allowing you access to the next trial sequence to fully open the zone. Finally, when you load in post-credits, the zones fill out with more sidequests and collectibles available to you. The trials have options to skip the required platforming, but it costs money and money is very time consuming to collect (and you need a lot of money to get all the outfits and furniture). You also cannot get the post-credits extra collectibles by paying so I strongly suggest getting used to the platforming challenges.
The outfits are cute, but there aren't that many and they act weird when you sit. The zones look nice but they can be difficult to navigate (and maps are pretty hard to read, and there's no compass or indicator where you are on the map. Maps also cost money.
The final challenge is a time trial using the vehicle movement and projectiles, it's really difficult. Completing it is required for one of the outfits and all achievements.
There are issues. the first ability you get is a ground kick, it's only used in a few places, and it doesn't feel good to do. The midair dash and the air boost (like a double jump, but uses a different button) feel good to do, however they're not very precise and you get very different results depending on the order you do them. There's no landing shadow to indicate where you're going to land. Some of the map indicators don't match where the route to start a collect is, only where it is. There isn't a huge variety in things to do until post-credits, and some of what you have to do is just mean (breaking the cat people's vases and popping their balloons).
