Review

An incredible number of elements are woven into the excellent level design. Some of these elements are Easter eggs, some are mini-games, and many serve as core mechanics supporting the entire playthrough. What they all share is that the designers skillfully integrated them across the overarching storyline. Single-use mechanics, dynamic pacing, and a smooth, exhilarating, and brisk gameplay experience are also key reasons behind its immense popularity.

You may have heard the story of the Tortoise and the Hare countless times, or read countless novels. While this comparison may not be entirely apt, this story feels like the genuine, everyday experience of one of thousands of families. Starting out for a purpose, and ultimately returning for each other. This is truly the Ninth Art.
