As I have said before (though not in a while, I guess since people have gotten used to my review style) I review things differently than most reviewers. I don't agree with adjusting to match a certain style of game. People always tell me not to destroy Tropical Freeze or NSMBU because of their lack of story, then I play games like Trine and Trine 2 with really fun story telling. Every game CAN have a good story, if only the developers aren't lazy, Snakepass is no exception.

Alright I get that. The only thing I will say is that I think we as gamers need to be more careful with our use of "lazy" when we talk about game development. Simply because every game has a finite amount of resources available so to improve one aspect of a game you need to take away from something else. Plus, game development is just really difficult, and we should try to be respectful of that and of the people who do it.

I'm sorry, but a 5 year old could create better dialogue and story development then that in Snakepass, NSMBU, or Kong: Tropical Freeze. It is clearly a case of them not wanting to put a story in the game.
