Bakeru is a sweet, snappy, and satisfying linear 3D platformer that feels like a wonderful callback to a genre that doesn’t get a ton of representation these days. It’s really easy (although the Western version ups the difficulty slightly) and has some performance problems, but the gameplay variety, snappy combat, oodles of collectibles, and gorgeous art style all come together to make for an adventure that you won’t want to miss out on.

Bakeru is a family-friendly 3D Platformer that puts players in the role of a tanuki magically transformed into a human (among other things), in a wacky adventure through an anachronistic version of Japan with spirits, mechs, and plenty of absurdity in between. This game doesn’t do anything especially new or truly extraordinary, but everything it does is fun, accessible, and varied, making for an overall enjoyable adventure well worth checking out for any fan of 3D Platformers.
