The Big Catch: Tacklebox

Things I liked: - There's a lot of content for a free demo. I could probably keep playing for another few hours without running out of content. - The movement is incredible; sliding on walls and swinging on grapple hooks feels great. - Swimming feels very good, though I didn't find many swimming-based challenges - The 3D models, textures, music, and animations are very all charming and polished. - The sand-seal style travel in the desert is satisfying, if a bit too slippery. Things I didn't like: - Failing at the last step of very long sequence of platforming challenges can be super frustrating. If there's no bottomless pits you have to start over from scratch. Checkpoints are usually present but aren't frequent as I'd prefer. - Every main collectable is a fish that you have to chase Spyro-egg-thief-style which got a bit tiring after a while. I didn't always enjoy hunting down fruit to lure the fish with either. - There's nothing to spend the coins on and fish can only be turned in for more coins. That's fine for the demo but hopefully the full game has things to spend the collectables on. - Some kind of radar or collectable screen would be nice to know when you're done with an area. Especially because the only achievement for the demo is locked behind getting every single collectable. I got 525 of the 700-ish coins in the game but I feel pretty satisfied with what I played. Really enjoyed the demo and am super excited for the full release!
