What do you think about the new layout? Better than the one in Pikmin 4 review ?
Added EuroGamer as the reviewer, the rest are same as previous review mega thread, except for the ones that didn't review the game. As always, let me know if you want me to add another reviewer. Just share the link and I'll add them from now on.
So, who is planning to get the game? And those who have gotten it, what do you think about it?
It honestly looks a bit bland, like they were going for Rayman Legends but ended up with something closer to flash games. I guess kids will still enjoy it, but it's a pass for me.
I really hate this art style with a passion. It's fine for random people making no-budget flash animations in the mid-2000s, but really a waste of potential for a company (and IP holder) like Disney.
They have the perfect expressive 2D friendly art style already made for them in Steamboat Willie - channeling that style instead could make for a very charming artstyle at a low budget. If not, Cuphead has proven that postwar cartoon style can work incredibly well for 2D performers.
Then again, I guess I'm not the targeted audience. I'm sure this style is popular with the kids, and it's not like I would buy a Disney product anyway.
You are totally spot on. Basically a shittier version of Rayman legends, across the board. That's too bad, as that's a great game to copy.
