Fun game! A little too easy though
The game has a really nice physical presentation. It’s great to be able to have it on a shelf. However, the included instruction manual is pretty lacking. If you’re a big fan of Shantae this is worth getting, but if you aren’t diehard going digital might not be a bad idea. The game itself is fun. It’s great for kids or anyone who likes 2D games similar to Metroid. The graphics are gorgeous and the music is fun and catchy. The game also has a wonderful sense of control and the movement options are great. The only thing that really brings this game down for me is it’s difficulty, it’s way too easy. Shantae and the Seven Sirens is a fun 2d platformer with a great sense of style that is hampered down by its lack of challenge. The physical edition is a great option for collectors but is very disappointing in terms of its instruction manual.

Another fine sequel
The struggle to go to stop and shop and get a 30 dollar steam card was real because this game was WAYYY less generous with price than Half-Genie Hero. Shantae and the Seven Sirens might be overlooked, but trust me, this game is amazing. For me, the pacing is perfect, the fully animated cutscenes with voice acting are great, and the cherry on top is the open-world gameplay. Some people point to Jake Kaufman being absent in this game for the lack of soundtrack, but this soundtrack is a banger. The themes are so bubbly and retro-themed it warms my heart listening to them. The other half-genie abilities you fuse with yourself are genius, as a healing one that heals you and brings plants to life to solve puzzles. I give this game a 9.3/10, the only reason it isn't perfect being a moderately large price tag (at least it's not 40), boring parts with the story, and too much backtracking.

Good pick up for new and old Shantae fans alike
Very fun game. The difficulty is probably the only weak point for this entry. Art music and story are all well done and the return to more classic metroidvania was definitely nice.
