I started it not long ago but I just wasn't feeling the first world at all. A lot of little things about gameplay and exploration were annoying and the overall direction seemed tedious.
Exactly this but I stuck with it and it turned out to be one of my favorite games in a long time that I easily 100%'d with absolutely no hesitation
It is a very very very strange game. It's unpolished. The graphics kinda suck. The controls suck. The camera really sucks. The main character is boring and mildly cute at best. It's weak in everything that a platformer traditionally needs (3 Cs, controls, camera, character).
But my god is it so much greater than the sum of its parts. It's downright scary. I attribute it to the 4th C: content. The stuff in the game is just really good. It's impossible to describe but you will feel it by the end of world 2.
This has made me more intrigued to try out a game than I have felt in some time
Like, my expectations are still very much in check, but this is fascinating
