I've spent almost the entire day playing the game I'm reviewing for Nintendo Life next, and dear lord is it exceptional. Not from a technical standpoint, no; it's janky, the cutscenes look like ass and the framerate tanks in more complex environments. Nor from a narrative perspective; the very premise is kind of stupid, though to the game's credit it absolutely runs with it and has total commitment.
No; this is just a game clearly designed with love. The creators love what they've created. They love designing games. They love throwing surprises in the player's path. They love providing opportunities for the base mechanics to be used in interesting, creative and absolutely delightful ways.
It saddens me a bit that the combination of technical jank and… certain assumptions some people will make about it probably means hardly anyone is going to play this. But you better believe it's going to get a glowing review from me, because it absolutely deserves it.
Once again, sorry for the vagueness, but it's embargoed so I probably shouldn't even be saying what I've said here! You won't have long to wait to find out the full truth, though! Watch this space!
