Incredibly charming and beautiful but the gameplay becomes repetitive and the overall pacing is far too slow. BUT.. its on gamepass so GO TRY IT ANYWAY!

Probably the best art direction of the year, this game is gorgeous. The game itself is sadly a bit drawn out, there are a lot of fun/cute little gimmicks and puzzles but the game consistently overuses the same ones to the point of tedium. Each area overstays its welcome by just enough to become tiring, its a shame. The game also has a pretty useless map, often I'd be missing one star in an area and a local map would have been so helpful but nah, you just get a world map to show how areas connect.

This game needed to be tightened up, if it were half the length and a bit more condensed it would be fantastic.
