Decent Paper Marioesque gameplay and pricking at fondness for the show and nostalgia for Wind Waker is all this game has going for it. And those do scratch a decent itch. But they didn't send their best writers for this project. The story, humor, and characters are all perfunctory and uninspired. They got Olivia Olson but apparently too many lines would've gotten expensive cause she barely says anything in cutscenes, which was a major letdown. And it's buggy as hell; at time of writing I don't have the last three achievements I should, and I'm not compelled to replay the game anytime soon. But I still had a good enough (adventure) time with it, pleasantly sailing, tearing through bad guys, and unwinding with my own music. I can't regret that.
