My girlfriend got me to play this one and it's honestly pretty fun. The abilities are fun, the variety is nice, and the atmosphere is charming. The biggest problem is the vast amount of unskippable cutscenes and just how short this game is. This game expects you to replay levels yet refuses to let you skip cutscenes you've seen multiple times before. It's frustrating and ruins a lot of the otherwise great levels in this game if you go for 100%. I'm sure if they fix this one problem then Peach can have a genuinely great game.

It's really hard to rate this game. I wish I could say I loved it, but I don't.

Don't get me wrong, I think the gameplay here is really solid. Playing with my girlfriend to complete puzzles, compete, and just have fun together is really great. The problem is not the gameplay.

The story, however, is shockingly poor. The writing feels lazy and actively annoying. The characters are unlikeable, their conflict frustrating, and their dialogue cringeworthy. They act less like parents with reasonable conflicting perspectives and more like spoiled children. This makes progression somewhat bittersweet since the gameplay always stays fresh while the actual plot progression feels forced, messy, and annoying. I get the story isn't the point here, but it's constantly inserting itself, so it's really hard to ignore
