It really shows this is a Good-Feel game. I'm not a fan of their last Nintendo game but this one is very well crafted, no pun intended. It's cute, with simple mechanics and a lot of variety of situations. It is easy. If you like a little bit of a challenge, you won't find it here. But that also makes it quite accessible to a wider range of people to play it without much problems. It's a beautiful game, the costume change system creates many mechanics and different stories told as theater plays performed by her as the protagonist and overall having Peach as a protagonist is a plus. Not that short of a game, pretty fun. I don't know, it's quite good for what it is.

Balan Wonderworld, if it was
• made competently
• for the girlies
• had unique levels

It is VERY short

I am really hoping the devs iterate on this in a future game. They already have a lot going right with this but god the level objective and boss variety is such a drawback for long-term replayability (such as clearing the Spire with every Weapon).

Even just one different objective type and an alternate final boss would've gone a long way.

At least they did something new and didn't just make another Splatformer with re-skinned Octarians again.

If I had to be honest, I might've enjoyed this a lot more than Octo Expansion, maybe because Pearl and Marina appeared more physically along the quest in this.

Oh well, regardless, this expansion was so much fun to play and it feels so amazing to see those two again! ^^
