the fact this game's marketing (i.e. here and official twitter) is founded on so many corny platitudes has me doubting the original game's messaging, which is eating at me because it hit hard back at release
wait i missed out of touch thursdays burning to the ground?? thank god
understand the followers who didn't care for variations on a theme. in a world where even wikipedia makes baffling redesign choices, sometimes all you want is a small bastion of consistency
it's a pretty fun roblox game as someone who doesn't really play, kind of what sold me on sonic frontiers as a concept because just running around at sonic speed is surprisingly fun by itself
gamesradar and digital trends seem to be the lowest reviews so far and both have some very odd choices (i.e.: digital trends bringing up dunkey for some reason...?) so i'm optimistic here
this coming out the day i started playing it was a mite bit heartbreaking, but somewhat expected given how at odds the ethos of the group seemed to be with some of the projects that were being announced. this and the majority of valve's best writers being somewhat transient if not altogether gone from the company are some of the biggest blows to video game writing lately
if yoshi's island ds is your worst favorite you've got infinitely many worse games (in the yoshi series, no less! i can think of three and they're all platformers!) to play
suppose hey pikmin might be my goto. its more middling than bad, but, eh, first thought
