I was initially excited when I saw the reveal trailer but actually going in I had low expectations. This is one of the best games I've ever played. So many incredibly high highs, great characters, music, and combat system. Raw and kino.

Uses OOTs structure to craft better gameplay and story. The best dungeons in the series and most creative dungeon items. Coolest character designs—big fan of Zelda and Midna. Didn't do any side content.

Pretty much just the first game for better or worse. I found it a bit more fun than the first game. I haven't really played any 2.5D platformers but its hard to imagine it getting any better than this. Wish there was more Klonoa.

Majora's Mask should have been a bad game. It was only made in a year but even two decades later what should've been the game's biggest weakness is actually its biggest strength. The weird and bizarre atmosphere is a result of the rushed development and if they had more time they could've easily have given everything too much thought and made changes that wouldn't fit the game. Majora's Mask 3D is proof of that so don't play that version unless it's with the restoration mod.

Short and charming platformer. Probably the most charming platformer ever actually. Didn't like the final level so much but the final bosses were fun. The whole game is very fun and paced well. I like 4 hour long games like this.
