You reap what you sow...it's promising that they took feedback from fans after the demo and seemed to implement some of those things. We'll see if it pays off in the final product!
I've been really enjoying it! I was holding out for a Switch release, but finally getting my hands on the PS5 made me realize it's much better to play on that system.
First half was pretty lame, but warmed up in the second half despite the bloated Pikmin Bloom coverage. Octopath 2 and Pikmin 4 were definitely the highlights for me.
Pixel art is one of my favorite forms of artwork, so there is a lot to be admired here! That being said, I wish the artists didn't try to do so much with each piece. There is SO much going on and it seems like most of the artists tried to pack in way too much detail for their own good, that it distracts from the overall work.
