    I'll be honest, I only bought this because I played the awful demo and want a reference point on everything to not do in games if I ever make one. On the positive side, the cutscenes are very much reminiscent of the drug trip you imagined happened while playing Nights into Dreams as a kid. On the negative side, the platform mechanics are dreadful, the equivalent of Chao are fun for like 3 mins, and though they patched what made people nauseous from the demo (to the point people that normally don't get motion sickness with games ended up getting motion sick), this is very much a thing that can still happen with the first stage.

    I loved this game so much I purchased it for the Switch. If you are a sonic fan and billy hatcher and the giant egg you will like this. If, not you may not enjoy this.

    If you like Banjo- Nintendo 64 and Crash Bandicoot how could you not love this game. It's simple-yet-varied, endlessly imaginative, and designed with all the sensibilities of the bygone platformers of yesteryear.

    This game always gets a lot of criticism, and it deserves all of it. The cutscenes have a lot of care put into them but don't run well on the switch. This game runs poorly and you should save your money.

    This game was just not good. I don't know if its just the switch version or all but there are massive framerate issues. It's just not that fun to play either. I though a colorful adventure game from Square Enix what could go wrong. Apparently everything....
