Really stellar presentation, nails its visual style, the music is a little subdued at times but it generally fits the game's pace. The character interactions are fun, exploring the levels is rewarding. The more "discrete" aspects of the player character's moveset (attacking, jumping, ground-pounding, gliding) all feel pretty good, but anything that starts to rely more on physics or momentum (rolling, swimming) feels too unpredictable. It's a blast until just before the end, where the game completely shifts gears from loose, exploratory platforming to a linear gauntlet; parts of the final area feel like those "Mario in First Person" videos
