Reviews enjoy connecting movement with close-range attacks. It suits players drawn to carrying themselves into the action and moving through it, rather than staying at a safe shooting distance.
What makes it fun
Hookshot in, then punch
Fire the Hookshot at an enemy to close the gap, then follow up with punches. You can put yourself in striking range instead of waiting for an enemy to approach.
Race ahead or explore
You can dash through a stage or stop to rescue civilians and search for secrets. Those detours can unlock new powers, giving you a reason to pause even when you want to keep moving.
