I like the game it's fun and cute. mario and zelda will always hold a special place in my heart. Just saying it doesn't really do anything that pushes the genre forward and many games have the ability to slow time that doesn't mean much, you still need good level design, combat, and many other things to make a game good. Level design is extremely basic in wonder compared to many 2d platformers.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that, I found the level design to be excellent, though honestly for me personally Retro's DKC games still hold the gold standard there, at least as far as 21st century 2D platformers go.

I feel like Wonder caters to a wider audience and as such needed to keep things more approachable and not as hardcore as DKC Returns or Tropical Freeze.

Aside from tropical freeze being more hardcore the levels just feel huge and more alive compared to wonder with way more secrets and exploring. With wonder while it looks beautiful and fun to play it's always the same for 90% of the levels get seed,  new gimmick and 25-35 seconds later you're done with level with very little skill or great platforming required.
