Something that people seem to find difficult to grasp is that if everyone agrees on a game being overrated/underrated, it can no longer be regarded as such.
That's what I would prefer too. I feel like it's totally doable to have a fast paced game while focusing on puzzles, they just need to do extra effort on the level design.
WL1 is a pretty underrated game in the series compared to its sequel so it's nice to see some love for it.
Any other video game franchise you are interested in?
Yeah.... I remember that things like that even being on the WL4 page. I kinda wish they still kept the American Wario like as he was. This is the one of the rare scenarios where I prefer the localized portrayal.
Wario doesn't pay his employees nor does he credit them, neither should you. Like Wario, you gotta steal what you want in life, in a world full of saps, be a cheater.
