Review

This is definitely one of the best platform adventure games of the past decade. It was lovingly crafted by a team with a deep appreciation of the Wonder Boy/Monster World series. It captures everything great about those games while also being a huge modern open-world adventure with its own identity. The only thing keeping it from a perfect score is one awkward control choice that negatively impacts a huge portion of the game: to change into one of your monster forms, you have to hold down both of the rear shoulder buttons, and use the joystick to select an option from a radial menu. In the late game, you have to switch forms fairly often, sometimes in mid-air or in the middle of intense action. The menu would sometimes flicker on and off as the rear shoulder buttons aren't the most reliable, and having to constantly switch my left thumb between the D-pad and joystick was a pain. I still had a great time and 100%ed the game, I just wish they had gone with a simple submenu.

Score
