I am, for context, someone who has near-100% complete all 3 prior games multiple times, with Warped having been my first ever PlayStation game. Reminiscent of Crash 1, this does try hard to recapture the work of NaughtyDog, who are no longer involved. The non-involvement of the original developers is however very obvious. The difficulty of the simplest sections of the game is massively higher than in even the boss levels of previous games - as can be noticed by the fact the game's standard and reccomended settings is to keep tally of deaths rather than to maintain a healthy reserve of lives for more difficult sections. The lost playability of the game is made up for by skins - a feature that is clearly jammed in from an executive who thinks that Fortnite is the only viable business model for games. The returning characters look fine, if a little weird due to the new animation style, and there are new supporting and antagonist characters too who feel consistent with the game's history. The new mask-powers are interesting too, with some interesting new mechanics accompanied by decent visuals. The major issue is that without a more accessible way of playing, a less sheer skill curve - noone under the age of 12 or over the age of 25 is ever going to see 90% of the game. If I had been on the Lives mode, I wouldn't have made it past level 2. Frustrating beyond belief and unfulfilling due to the constantly being pulled out of the narrative by the "Ooh look at these skins!" Screen - i think that the developers missed the mark, though not by a lot. If you are a collection perfectionist or a hardcore game crusher, you will probably enjoy this. If you are a fan of the series who has 100% every other game so far, you may not get on with it.

Deeply bored throughout Poor acting Poor battle choreography All tell don't show Egregious use of slowmo Completely unoriginal

TL;DR - don't watch it, it is of the same quality as a primary school play. Premise: 2, a show about the Disney stories colliding in a secret world within ours. Could have been amazing if handled well but it just wasn't. Acting quality: 1, starts moderate and declines rapidly Plot: 0, wow... just awful Effects: 1, out of date before they even began Continuity: barely consistent, often character decision is based upon what the plot demands and not what makes sense from any perspective. The premise also means that the show feels entirely disjointed and incapable of deciding when the show is set Casting: 0, the Rumplestiltskin character is the only one with a quality actor behind it Hercules is clearly a straight-out-of-college white boy and meg is his a 16 year old white girl. In fact, almost every charactr is poorly cast. Directing: 0, I just imagine the director stopping a scene to make sure the actors overact more. Script: 0, people don't talk like this. Also, they seem to merge character motivations down to "parentao issues" for every character... Makeup: 0, often uneven, sometimes textured in weird ways In conclusion - how does this have a fresh rating on rotten tomatoes? In fact, how does it have a better rating than green lantern? Just no.

May be the best and most gay shows on Netflix. Its amazingly well written. I hope they do a He-Man tie in or spin off (or both!) Because anything to keep this writing team going would be ace in my book. I find it impossible to choose a favourite character
