I think the gravity mechanic worked well, and the controls were fine. I think Mario 64 controls great except for the camera which isn't really an issue here and the spin move allows you to adjust just enough (as opposed to the hovering mechanic in Sunshine). I don't know how you can say there is little platforming when pretty much the whole game is jumping from thing to thing. Unless you take platform in a super literal sense where you actually have to be jumping onto a literal platform. Even then I feel there's quite a bit of that. I'm not sure what you feel you've been doing if not platforming.

But, if you don't like it so far, I would guess you probably won't. Especially if you have already sampled a wide variety of the levels. There's a chance you would like Galaxy 2 more as it is more challenging. Or if you just don't like the linearity, Odyssey might suit you better.

its a 7 out of 10. the gravity mechanic is a gimmick  good for a few levels but building the game around is very repetitive and annoying. when i say good platforming i'm talking about something like donkey kong tropical freeze where the controls are perfections and platforming requires skill so far very little in that with this game. the game control are just not that great.  I'm watching Odyssey that looks much better gameplay wise but i hear you have to go through 30 hours of collecting moons before you get a challenge   

I'm not sure what gimmick means here. It's a mechanic. Which games should have. It's a weird complaint that there is always gravity. I don't know what you mean by good platforming. Or what your objection to the controls are. Really nothing you've said is any sort of meaningful or intelligible criticism. It's just saying X is bad or Y is bad without any real explanation. 

The only thing that's kind of valid is that the game is not very challenging, and aside from a few difficult stars, it's really not. But, this is a Mario game that's meant for people of all ages and skill levels, so that is kind of to be expected. If that's an issue, then Mario games are probably just not going to be your bag. Mario Galaxy 2 and Sunshine would probably be the best of them, but even those aren't all that challenging. I would probably advise you to stop playing it or other 3D Mario games. Spend your time on stuff you're going to enjoy.
