Great game once again. Solid control, memorable moments, INCREDIBLE atmosphere, and genuinely really good storytelling. The writing is superb, much better than you usually expect from Nintendo; not only that, the way it builds the X as a threat to the universe is really well-done. I'm personally not as much of a fan of the linear structure, but that didn't matter too much in light of everything else this game does right. Excellent stuff.
really excellent game, man; plays great, feels great, looks great, sounds great. the story actually had me motivated to keep playing too; the way a lot of the characters developed was really fun and heartwarming to see. you can tell all-around how much love and effort went into this game and it's wonderful
although i haven't owned a warioware game before this, i can see the classic charm of the franchise coming through here, and the game never forgets what it is. it's a great time and definitely one i'll be coming back to. as of this log i just finished the story and have only just started touching the other modes, so this rating might increase as time goes on. either way, having a great time with it!

i will always love toby's work to death, and for the vast majority of it this was more of what i love so much about it. i kinda wished there was a bit more seriousness in the middle of it, but you can't deny the charm of what's there, and it was still a delight to play. he's definitely starting to incorporate much more cool gameplay ideas into his stuff as well. bless you toby fox sir and i can't wait for chapter 3

A pretty serviceable handheld version of an HD console game that you'd expect at the time it came out. There are some neat ideas; level design and bosses are hit or miss, though I was surprised by how fun it was to play as modern Sonic even restricted to 2D. It honestly feels a bit too short (even moreso than the console version), but I don't think there was much to expect in that department. It was nice to play for the novelty of it, but it's not a game that I think there's too much reason to go back to today.
