What works

  • Challenging and varied puzzles

  • Cute paper mario-esque art style
  • Catchy and fitting soundtrack
  • Open world exploration and non-linear gameplay

Things to keep in mind

  • Humor is juvenile and crude, not for everyone
  • Some puzzles have vague hints or require trial and error
  • Final collectible hunt is tedious and frustrating
  • Controls can be awkward at times
  • No achievements or cloud saves at launch
