Snake Pass

I don't see how the control scheme is perfected. There are some major flaws, especially when coupled with the godawful camera. One such flaw is how Doodle's head can get stuck pushing its body and uncoiling for a second which is a guaranteed way of getting killed when you can't see it happening.
Honestly It feels like I'm playing a flawed PS2 game at times, with how much the camera gets obstructed by leaves and walls (they really should've made them transparent when obscuring the character as many other games do).
And just like flawed PS2 games, this game also has some great moments. The movement feels oh-so satisfying once you get the hang of it, and figuring out how to use it to reach the collectibles can be great fun, similar to solving a puzzle.

Flawed PS2 era fever dream platformers are my bag, I have to get around to playing this.

I can definitely back up all the complaints about the camera, and I ran into a lot of issues whenever I tried to slither around sharp corners, or really anything made of stone. That said, the visuals are so charming, the challenge is so organic and engaging, the core systems just so goddamn FUN that I can't help but adore this game. I'm so glad they included a sequel hook (however low-effort it may have been), because I need more of this gameplay.
