An utterly charming mixture of different influences (Link's Awakening, painting games like deBlob, ...) that somehow manages to find its own unique voice. It's a bigger and longer game than it may look at first sight, with quite a few optional side quest and collectibles thrown in for good measure. The painting mechanic gives the player lots of freedom, allowing you to paint as much or as little as you wish in whatever way that strikes your fancy, echoing neatly the themes about self-expression found in the story.

The Switch version also allows for optional touch screen and motion controls, making it probably the ideal way to enjoy this game. Also, great to play local co-op with a kid. This is my first ever review on this site, but I simply had to share my love
