is this game perfect by any means?

no, in fact it has a lot of flaws and is hard for me to recommend because of how janky the platforming aspects are

HOWEVER. It cannot be understated just how incredibly charming this game is... the dialogue is incredibly funny, the level design is zany and makes for a masterclass in environmental storytelling, the character design is unlike any other game out there to this day.

Truly a landmark in my gaming history and even after all these years, it remains my favourite game of all time.
