I just want Replaced so bad... Well, now I also want Cocoon so bad lol

Not familiar with any of those two games but I went ahead and bought Tiny Tina's Wonderland.  Also, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenges is very good even though I only played it for a bit so far.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is WAYYY too short for the money, though.  I'm sure people can just keep replaying it with friends or something to level up the turtles and do multiple endings, but I had ZERO clue I'd finish that in a single live stream until my Twitch mod told me I was almost done at chapter 15, and there are only 16 chapters.  And chapter 16 is just a boss fight lol... While I had fun and played with randos, I just had no idea the fun would be THAT shortlived.

I hate to sound like an Xbox fanboy, but Game Pass definitely made TMNT:SR a better time considering it can be beaten in just two hours!

Watched your review when you released it, and just played the game myself a few days ago. My thoughts:

Trek To Yomi

The Good

• Simple but fun combat system
• Mostly good storyline (character development on certain characters could be better)
• Good soundtrack
• Cool classic samurai movie aesthetic
• Good JP voice acting

The Bad

• Poor collectible design (missable collectibles, as certain paths block you off from going backwards and there is no real indication which path progresses the game forward and which is a side path with collectibles in many cases
• No post-game mission select (this combines with the above to make collectible hunting a guide requiring chore, while also making it hard to replay to get the other 3 endings)
• Poor English voice acting
• Poor achievements (far too many achievements for beating bosses without taking damage, a 4-5 hour long playthrough only netted me 250 GS)
• Some of the levels are too long, you reach a point where you just want to reach the end but the game keeps going and going
• Poor puzzles which feel like filler

Score: 7/10 (if they were to patch in a proper post-game mission select with checkpoint select to make collectible hunting, ending collecting, and no damage boss retries easier, I would bump the score up quite alot to something 8+)

You played it English? HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF?! lmao

I find it intriguing you mention the combat system as "simple": they give you a ton of moves and combos that are mostly useless in 95% of combat situations.  That seems to be our only real disagreement, though!
