The bad
-The worlds are too fucking big and everything is spread out too much. It feels like a chore going back and forth through the giant and confusing maps
-Quills are kinda just randomly put everywhere without any rhyme or reason and there's 200 of them in the massive worlds to find
-The retro games are pretty bad and should feel bad
-Just not enough worlds honestly. If they kept the worlds small and just added like 2 more, it would've been great.

The good
-The game is pretty funny
-The last world is really fun
-Controls great and looks good
-Music is pretty good
-The characters are great

Wasn't that their reason or making B&K:NnB a vehicle game?

The whole worlds expanding thing was a neat idea but in practice was a mistake. There was no reason to enter the half complete world until you could expand it

they improved on the concept immensely with the alternate form worlds in Impossible also. Id like to see them try that with a proper 3D sequel

I thought it was enjoyable gaming comfort food. Unspectacular but satisfying.

If I had to rank the worlds:
Space > Temple > Casino > Ice > Swamp

Does it play well on console or should it be for PC only?

It's on the modern consoles. I played it initially on PC and I'm replaying it on Switch. It controls the same really >_>

Honestly, outside of a couple quill spots and the last two Rextro games, it was an amazing game. I definitely would have taken the smaller worlds if it gave us another 2 or 3 though.

The game is so janky lol. I chuckle every time the energy meter needs to recharge.

I actually really liked the Swamp level. And the Space level was mostly good.

First level was decent but the actual world design was so screwy I kept getting lost.

Ice level was bad, and the casino level was absolutely awful.

Its the second best level theme in gaming (after spooky levels) but YL screws it up by making the entire level a big empty building. Even with the transformation (a freaking helicopter) you spend more time travelling between challenges than you do actually playing them.

Some of the ideas in the level are fun but theyre not strung together in a way thats actually fun.

I couldn't be bothered to finish it. Got super bored. My time is more valuable than direct money. So if I'm not enjoying myself I don't force myself to finish games anymore.
