ive only started this game today, got to 12 hearts i think, but holy fuck

this game really does feel like an sm64 if it was made on the next generation

the game honestly really does look like an ultraspecced n64 game to me, but i honestly like it for that

lot of the textures, low framerate and mostly blocky levels do remind me a lot of n64 games, but it does have way bigger levels with some more involved setpieces, way farther draw distance (even if there is still some pop in), and so on

even if jakndaxter and ratchet n clank were both able to have higher fidelity in basically every way (more detailed models and higher res textures)and also run at 60 fps, i still really do appreciate how this game looks for what it is

i fucking love how the moveset is also literally mario's moveset in sm64 even with all the little quirks like a melee attack in the air that stalls your movement for a little (useful in platforming), long jump, walljumping being done the same way, or even putting your back against the wall if you hold your stick against a wall for whatever reason. i just wish he had maybe the coolest sm64 move, the dive!

this is so goddamn cool i did not expect it to be this good and i cant wait to play more
