I thought I’d stick with playing the shikaku puzzles for a full year but have finally found myself waning after 110 puzzles. The regular and weekly “hoops” are generally relaxing and just engaging enough.

For a run based game with multiple characters, the runs themselves often end up feeling very similar. The drip feed of story is well done and does help differentiate the game. And I do actually enjoy the mix of card gameplay with ship tactics, it just feels a bit thin quicker than I would have hoped.

Quickly felt like I was playing an all timer. The biggest criticism might be length, with the best upgrades feeling like they come late, though that’d be nitpicking. It never felt like it over stayed its welcome and I was compelled to keep playing to see the story through and also just because it never stopped being fun.

Huge respect to Ubisoft Montpellier. A revisit of Rayman Legends is overdue, as is finally playing Beyond Good & Evil.
