A silent hero, a chattering sidekick, and a colorful world that opens up all in one piece.

No gut ranking, so on to the detail, with still-scarce votes in hand. The heart of the game is attachment: ahead of 80% of titles, right where the Jak and Daxter duo lands. Desert island follows nicely, ahead of three quarters of games, and rediscovery sits just above average. But here is the pinch of a surprise: the feel of the controller drops to the very bottom, ahead of barely 6% of games, on three duels so a signal already a bit less fragile. Clear tension: people love the world and the characters, yet early votes snag on the playing sensation itself. Fun stays low too, to be confirmed.

In the grand line of Naughty Dog 3D platformers, it bets on charm and open world more than on pure precision.

So who is it for? You, if you love an endearing universe, an adventure that stays with you. Much less if your pleasure comes first from the raw feel of a controller.
