I'm sure beneath the surface and past my departure point there's a pretty good game here with an interesting story that builds the world outside of Sora, but my GOD. I actively felt myself losing brainpower playing through this game.

It's clearly held back by the platform it was initially released on, with boring, empty worlds that toss enemies at you non-stop for no reason. I want some liveliness and fun combat scenarios in these worlds, but the least interesting thing you could throw at a player is a completely flat open plane where enemies spawn to make you mash X and occasionally triangle what feels like every 5 steps.

While I dropped off of this one pretty early, I already know I would've gotten annoyed with the abundant amount of new mechanics introduced in this one, alongside the fact that I need to play through the game 3 times? I hate when games do that, man, it's so annoying.

I can see some sort of value in this one, but it's covered in rust and gunk that I don't want to clean off.
