This has been a remarkably beautiful trip down memory lane. Bosses with patterns that you can adapt to, respawning minions that you can farm for money, simple mechanisms that translate much deeper than it would at first glance.

This game is definitely one of the best reboots and one of the best platform experiences I've had in a very long time. The charm of the characters are so immediate and each specializes in a very natural way.

In contrast, Ori and The Blind Forest was arguably prettier but the difficulty curve really took the joy out of the game for me.

The balance in character scope, the penalties of errors, all scale much more properly here. It's fun from start to finish.

Needless to say, this is one of the few must buy platformers that I've played.

NOTE: Looks like there is some hidden levels and replayables throughout the game, however I'll leave those up to you to find.
