Finished it. Glad the game finally came out. Similar to the first in terms of both its strengths and weaknesses. Grea world and characters, unique and varying art style, and an engaging but eneven story. On the other hand as a platformer it's kind of average and while I love me a good collectathon, they really aren't ideal for storytelling. Probably should have been closer to Super Mario Galaxy than Banjo Kazooie. In other similar style games I want to scour the world to find everything because it was rewarding in itself, while hear I was content to do the minimum to progress the story.

How much you enjoy the game will come down to how much you value creativity and story vs how much you value polished gameplay.

So mario beats this game in platforming?? How?

No Mario game has ever given me motion sickness to start with. Platforming is more precise in Mario, better laid out to the distance you jump and jumping on enemies is part of platforming. Enemies are better integrated with the platforming in Mario games. Here it feels separated.

In Mario the gameplay is polished to perfection. Here it feels far from that.
It's better than in the original game at least which I never managed to finish.

This game takes me back more to the time of Lucasarts adventures crossed with Sly Cooper.
