Good game but very repetitive IMO and the grinding as well as the bad platforming (at times) made me quit playing it. Maybe i'll get back to it someday.

The obvious Goemon love drew me in, along with the funny cutscenes and great artstyle. I'm with you though, I put it down because of having to return to areas and manage my rice with so many menus/ratings. I'm sure it's really satisfying when you're in it, but it seems hard to get into at first

Is charming little game that only made by two people, it well deserved.

The polish of this game is immense. I love the water graphics when you are stirring the... thingie. Its also quite funny as TheDrunkenMerchant said above.

I agree but the game also had some fundemental design problems. The art direction and presentation was fantastic though especially when considering it was made by just two people. But sadly it also shows that it was made by just two people in terms of gameplay and game design.

Wow, this is on my list, seems like it did alright.

600K of those are in Japan, basically doubled the previous best-selling game by Marvelous in the country, and has achieved around 300K digital sales of which we are likely looking at at least 80% on the Switch due to the shortages at launch last year.

I enjoyed the game and it had a lot of potential but i hope the success of the game helps them expand their team and the sequel doesn't have the problems of the first game (which i think they were due to their limited budget and workforce).

Funnily enough I just ordered the collectors edition for Switch from Best Buy. It arrived looking like a hobo used it as his lazy boy.

I keep seeing this in second hand stores, is it hot shit?

It's an interesting quirky game with beautiful art that also has its fair share of problems. At the very least it's worth a try IMO.
