SS is weird for me, on the one hand it revives the series creatively and achieves the sense of adventure and magic that WW and TP were devoid of, on the other hand it's full of bad game design that seems completely ridiculous to have gone unnoticed in a five year development cycle, did this game not get play tested at all? there's also a theme of overbearing hand holding throughout the game that doesn't go away even on the new game+ mode, they literally assume you're a mentally handicapped child even after you've beaten the game once. I don't want to call it mediocre because really there's nothing average about it, the game is both fantastic and outright terrible at the same time
