Colorful explosions, a chatty robot and a planet bursting in every direction, that promise lands within the first minutes.

The profile fits that image. Art direction climbs ahead of 88% of games, the strongest line of the bunch, with controller feel right behind, ahead of three quarters. These are sensations, snappy shooting, weapons that pop, and you feel it. Attachment and fun stay solid, above average. The only real dip is rediscovery, just below the middle, as if the game gives everything at once and keeps no mystery for a second life. Careful though, all of this rests on very few votes, early signals to confirm.

Against Sony's big action-platformers, this remake plays the card of instant spectacle rather than haunting emotion. It shines through its looks and its handling, less through what it leaves once the controller is down.

So who's it for? For you if you like a game that fizzes right away, gorgeous, fun, instantly playable. Much less if you're after the adventure that marks you for good and that you'll dream of reliving fresh.
