“A clever payoff in the finale underlines the playfulness of it all, however, asking you to exercise not your platforming skills or tactical nous so much as your imagination. And after that, just when you might be thinking there’s little left to do except revisit pastures old to find more stars and flowers, you’re rewarded with a substantial addendum of content that goes far beyond a mere appendix. At this point, not only does Mysterious Book come to feel like a generous package, it offers some of its finest delights (a riff on a Yoshi’s Island boss and Super Mario Galaxy is spellbinding). If there was any chance of coming away from this frictionless journey feeling deflated, then, Good-Feel ensures there’s no danger of that.” [8] |
