I'm not a huge fan of the movement in this game. It's bearable in the sense that it works well with the game world but I didn't find it fun or satisfying to control throughout my initial playthrough. That's my only major complaint. The art direction & overall presentation is absolutely stunning. There's a lot of areas that tastefully pay homage to games from the N64 / PS1 era (Banjo, Glover & Klonoa etc) while also managing to retain its own identity. The whimsical music does a fantastic job at building the atmosphere along with the detailed environments & there's so many standout areas & secrets throughout the game where you can tell they were made with love. This game hit all the right notes for me & it left me feeling happy.
