Controls are obtuse at times and I'd say I had a mixed experience with most worlds, but it's really charming an earnest. Surprisingly self contained despite the franchise's monstrous lore development in later sequels. A good first entry overall, I enjoyed my time with it even if I had to keep GameFAQs open constantly since the Traverse Town "go through 5 arbitrary loading zones then return to the previous map with no indication you should do so" section.
