Very simple but fun adventure game, absolutely recommend and I hope they can finish the rest of the chapters soon.
Pros:
+The music is amazing, on par with even AAA games like Nier
+The artstyle is great. Everything is designed by Yoshi. and his sculptor peers. The 3D models do a great job of converting model kits and toys into a unique world of statuesque monsters
+The voice acting is good. Apparently they only hired two anime actors and they do a great job of carrying the entire game's story.
+The "Co-dependent" gameplay is a great successor to games like Ico.
Neutral:
The game is very mellow, majority of the game is doing simple puzzles and reading lore. This could be a plus for those wanting a laid back experience but might disappoint those that were expecting a full action game from the trailers
Negatives:
-Pacing is a bit strange as nearly all the combat is backloaded: There's multiple segments in the game that feel like they should end with a boss, but just don't. Then you fight three bosses in a row at the end.
-Combat is a bit shallow: Your character has buttons dedicated to each arm, but as soon as you press attack with one arm it locks you into a combo on that side.
-There is also a system where you can protect your ally by holding them in one of your hands. And because your combos don't change when carrying there's never a reason to drop your ally as both of you are invincible until dropped.
Both mechanics could be fixed by letting you alternate left and right attacks with different weapon arms, allowing for more damage while giving you a reason to leave your partner vulnerable on the ground.
