Annoyingly bad games

[Gors]

Klonoa was... an ok game I guess

I didn't get any of the "this is a Good Game" vibe, just "this is a Game That Exists" and I was like well okay,

this exists.

The game is indeed a tad slow and the momentum is essentially inexistant so platforming isn't too difficult - that is, until trick jumps with the bubble thing starts to appear, and that's nice.

One thing that I don't like is how everything else seems to dwarf in character design compared to Klonoa himself. It feels like 80% of the character designer budget went to Klonoa and they had to do whatever they could with the remaining 20%

My ex-girlfriend wanted me to play this game so bad and even wanted to watch me beat it but I honestly got bored on the 80% mark and gave up, which upset her a lot. But to be honest, none of her fave games were games I liked so there's that

Also it was incredibly verbose and tryhard in storytelling, which I don't really enjoy. Not that it's bad, just not my cup of tea. An action game should try and do the most of storytelling with the actions and gameplay elements, not cutscenes and speech bubbles everywhere
