shockingly underrated

Recommended.

It’s like the spiritual successor to the Ganbare Goemon series took the games Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World, Yoahi, Starfox, Sonic Adventure, threw them in a blender, and added sake to the mix.

It’s the ultimate Japanese experience.

Positive points:
• A moving work of art
• Beautiful and visually stunning
• Originality on every level
• A protagonist with charisma and the strength of Naruto
• Fun and varied gameplay
• A wide variety of levels
• Mecha battles
• Travel and explore all of Japan
• Great Japanese-style soundtrack
• Very polished mechanics, except for the gunslinger
• Achievable objectives and collectibles
• Fun combat
• Use of rhythm as a mechanic

Negative points:
• Limited soundtrack, themes are reused too much
• The story is less epic compared to Ganbare Goemon
• Most of the good characters lack charisma
• The final boss is quite disappointing
• When using the gunslinger, he would lock onto one enemy, which hindered gameplay
• Mecha lacks personality compared to Goemon Impact
• Lack of epicness and tension in the mecha battles
• No rewards for collecting all the collectibles
