I'm 90 minutes in (the game is 4 hours long for reference), and I can't believe I got conned into buying this game. It's just a walking simulator without the events that make a walking simulator somewhat enjoyable. The platformer elements are tedious and the 2.5 D style isn't straightforward. There is no broader story than "bring back color", which I could forgive if it just didn't serve as a platform to show-off water color bullshit.
I might finish it, but I haven't noticed a single minute of enjoyable gameplay throughout this whole playthrough. In a rare moment, I think IGN was right to rate this game poorly, although I think they should have rated it worse.
Honestly I just got it cause its super pretty. I havent played it yet so I appreciate the heads up, but I kinda just bought it for the art, so if thats good it was worth it (also got it on sale so that helps)
