Penny's Big Breakaway beated!

Just copy/pasting from the Beat a Game topic...

Fine enough but mostly it just felt like a 2nd tier N64 platformer, so, not a Mario 64 or a Banjo-Kazooie but rather a Chameleon Twist or Glover or something like that. I just never fully connected with it, and the lack of camera control made judging some jumps more difficult than it should have been.

The game is all about trying to maintain speed and combo through the whole level but I never felt like I had the mastery of the controls to pull that off. Instead I was taking it slower and trying to find some of the secrets and that typically made things feel even worse.

I also encountered some glitches in the later stages. At least 2-3 times either I fell through the floor or the camera just warped someplace else. During the final boss battle, I died multiple times on the 2nd phase (where you're riding along this ramp) when it just would decide I was going too slow at a loop...even though I have no control of the speed of my character at that point.

Ultimately, it was not worth the $20 I spent on it. This is a great example of a "wait for it to be on Game Pass/PS++" kind of game.
