I'm so tired of games with no balance. What you get here is a largely enjoyable platformer that turns into punishment once you reach the final area, and I'm over punishment **** gaming. I'm not even bothering when it becomes aggravation. Shame, because I really enjoyed this up to that point and was thoroughly enjoying being a completionist. Four stars for everything leading to the final area and two stars for that, so three stars is the balance.

Up there with the great platformers like Mario, Donkey Kong, and Sonic, but with modern upgrades like fair checkpoints and varied level designs. This is definiteley in the conversation for greatest platformer of all time. I also appreciate that the developer FINALLY patched the glitch that made the game freeze when you collect the 345th coin. It may have taken until 2025, but I'm glad it's here. If a sequel ever comes I will be pre-ordering immediately. I really hope that happens. This is a well made game that does everything right, and it shines among it's peers. There's easy levels early on, and the challenge steadily increases. Casual gamers should be able to beat the game. But there's a real challenge to collecting every single coin. Thanks to the developers for creating a work of art. And I'm a 46 year old lifelong gamer, I don't give this praise unless it's deserved. Look at my gamerscore, I'm the definition of hardcore gamer.
