I hated the Mario conparisons as if the reviewers were crediting Nintendo for inspiring this game but it sure is like a game Nintendo would make for VR down to a tee. Japan studio are talented in VR development and will hopefully make another more mature game. It's so beautiful (on pro anyway) that I sometimes can't progress the level because I have to stop and gawk around. Loving it and from a genre I grow very bored of these days. VR indeed makes everything better. |
Mario set the standard as both a 2D and 3D platformer. Sure, there were some games that surpassed Super Mario Bros. and 64 since they released, but Mario, nevertheless, is considered the pioneer and standard bearer. Even during this current time when platformers are not the same dominant genre they once were back in the 80s and 90s, Mario has been able to endure the change of time and his games have remained some of the best in the industry.
So in a sense, it can be considered an honor for any game to be compared to Mario. Kinda of like comparing prospects to a Hall of Fame athlete.
I haven't seen the game in action (just pictures), but it looks nice and I'm sure it will do well sales wise, even with a smaller userbase.
