Wéko The Mask Gatherer

I've wanted to wait until I've put a fairly decent sized dent in the game before I wrote a review. I think I've reached that point, because I'm in the Underground at the moment. No idea how to find the race ticket to progress and I spent an hour of trying to figure it out. I'm sure it's something pretty simple that I've missed, but it is definitely something that's frustrating. Anyway... The story is entertaining and interesting enough to keep you interested as you progress through the game. The NPCs are fairly interesting, with the major ones being more interesting for sure. The world itself is very cool to explore, with an introduction to new masks/skills as you progress. That's been the highlight of the game for me so far. Combat is... Passable. It's just pretty alright. The more combat I find myself in the less interesting it becomes, unfortunately. While there are some new weapons you can unlock, I so far have not. Enemies have pretty predictable patterns which gives it that Souls-like feeling. The dungeons/levels you explore have a variety of puzzles. For the most part I would say the puzzles are pretty straight forward. The game is pretty linear, but it presents itself in a way that it doesn't really feel like you're forced into any particular route. It all just makes sense. Usually. Until it doesn't. Anyway, that's about it. It's a neat game that suffers a bit from lackluster combat, and the occasional lack of direction. Definitely a game to consider if you're a fan of 3D platformers.
