Best I can describe this game is very "meh". The gameplay is extremely basic and nothing offensive, and the scenes are pretty fair watches.
I think there are two big flaws that hold this game back: firstly, while I did say the gameplay was basic, the level design is a different story. Most stages are a breeze to get through, but there's a lot of instances where you'll get blindsided by an upcoming enemy while you're riding on a minecart or lift, and it happened enough times to where I started to get VERY annoyed. Even putting the enemies aside, the game will ask you to do some really tedious things for the sparkly things in each level or for the red coins hidden everywhere. (I hope you like fighting the wind for 10 minutes!) And even past THAT, some levels feel almost Metroidvania-like in design (Let me state this again: some STAGES feel Metroidvania-like.) and they wear out their welcome very quickly.
Secondly, this game has no gallery mode. Maybe I'm spoiled by other games of this genre (the "run or be raped" style games), but there are a lot of different scenes in this game, and there's at least one scene for every single KO scenario, be it by enemy or by hazard, and some enemies could have up to 4 different scenes. I absolutely love the variety, but the only way to do this is to die to the enemies over and over. It's not horrible, but it's a pain to try and see every single scene if you want to get everything for archiving purposes. Granted, there's a memory option where you can watch Youmu getting raped in past endeavors, but again, that needs to be filled up by getting KO'd by everything, and even then you'll never know if there's a scene you might've missed.
Overall, okay game at its best, a clumsy mess at its worst.
