for context. I played this game on Xbox Series X. So I didn't experience any performance issues. I can't vouch for any other version of the game

Seeing this one in action doesn't do it justice. It's something you have to play.

Pennys big breakaway is kinda like a 3d pizza tower now that you mention it lol

Just not sure what I like more about the game. The brilliant twin stick platforming or the sheer personality that feels EXACTLY like something right out of the Sega Genesis

I've been playing this game it is 2000% underrated as fuck. I feel like more people need to get in touch with larger creators and tell them to give the game a look. Because it is such a fun game it deserves more attention then it's getting.

It's good to hear that the game is great. I was looking forward to this game when I found out who was working on it. Excited to play it!

why is this game and video so underrated

The temporary powerups parts of this game remind me more of the combat fatigues of Rayman 3 due to their temporary nature, whereas the presence of the important platforming tool with the yoyo more so reminds me of the likes of Glover and Billy Hatcher. And parts of the yoyo's moveset remind me of Hell Pie, like with that mid-air swing. But comparisons aside, on its own merits P'sBB looks like an interesting time.\ Spark the Electric Jester 3 was a sweet time too from what i know, and the upcoming Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip by the creator of Wuppo -while more of a "mess around in a funny place" than a technically complex 3D platformer, seems to be fun as well.

I saw their development gameplay of this game and they did talk about how they pulled all kinds of games together especially with Kirby and the Forgotten land where the camera control is built on fixed like this game, but i think it does it better cause it utalizes the Right stick for the Yo-yo and it feels good to use. Another game I think works the best for very high speed platforming as well is Spark the Electric Jester 3 where it takes the idea of Sonic adventure and evolves it ten fold. Its a great time to be a platformer fan truly

Penny's Big Breakaway is basically one of those games like Kid Icarus: Uprising and The World End With You where the controls and mechanics have a learning curve, but the games immediately become much more enjoyable once you get a handle on them. And it'd be a crime not to mention this game's absolute banger of a soundtrack.

This is a proper good 3D platformer.👌

Great video. Echoed my thoughts on the game so far, too. Looking forward to the future of platformers. ❤

Best Penny's Big Breakaway review.

“the wheelie power from Kirby Super Star Saga”… had no idea Kirby had a full fledged rpg 😂 Jokes aside, this game looks amazing. You’ve convinced me to give this one a shot!

i had never heard of this game before, but im absolutley going to check it out

Mario Galaxy 2 is the best 3d platformer ever made. Im not expecting this game to be that good, but I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I completely agree. The jury is still out on whether I prefer this gameplay over Classic Sonic or not, but that’s mostly cuz it’s hard for me to compare the two. Penny is PHENOMENAL tho in every single way, and it’s definitely one of my favorite games of all time if not my favorite flat out. Side not, I would absolutely LOVE a 3D Classic Sonic game in this style. I think all the elements for a faithful 3D Classic Sonic game are here and it could be awesome! If SEGA ever collabs with Evening Star again, that is what I’d want them to do

Kirby superstar saga, I love that game

so excited to try this one

It feels like with some adjustments, this could have been the 3D Sonic game we always wanted. Awesome game. Just surprised that Sega didnt have these guys do a 3D Sonic game.

I highly recommend this game for any platforming lover. The gameplay is super fun and satisfying, the music is enjoyable and the level design makes it so you can tackle the stages in any way you want. Also for its price, I think it is well worth it. People are tired of spending $70-$100 for a new game that feels rushed, repetitive, or just doesn't work. With Penny's Big Breakaway I spent about $30 and what I got is a full game experience with replay-ability, great music, fun gameplay & funny minor glitches. This game is probably my favorite game of 2024. Support these devs y'all, they deserve it

Great review -- I really enjoyed the game too

Seeing this game in action, as fun as it looks, I can't help but think "Man, imagine the fucking Sonic game we could've had on this engine if SEGA hadn't decided to go for mediocre ass Superstars instead. :(" every time. Also, no 60 fps on Switch sucks, might get it on PC at some point though.

Got serious ape escape vibes from the control scheme. There's even a similar power up that's activated the same way as one of its gadgets.

So glad you brought up pizza tower. Never seen a game do it so well. Now I have to get this

It's Christian Whitehead's Billy Hatcher

Great video :) I've been playing it my Nintendo Switch OLED. Looks and run amazing on both docked and handheld. I have a live stream on my channel and just uploaded a 1st impressions video today. The switch version looks great with some blur only in the background. It run smooth at 30 fps. It's a solid B game for me.

i found the artstyle for the game pretty jarring at first and immediately disliked it upon seeing the trailer. yet the more footage i see, the more charming i find it! i reminds me of the graphics from 90s and early 2000s educational kids computer games

This is a fun game with good level design, but the control really is not intuitive at all. It still needs some work done on it. I also really bloody hate the tumble that Penny does when she falls on a slope. It takes all control away from you. I also ran into my fair share of glitches too.

People really need to stop using "masterpiece" or "garbage" as if they were the only superlatives out there nowadays. Come one, the game is really good and deserves some attention but that's about it

I am loving this game, but the performance is a massive dealbreaker for me

It is a awesome amazing outstanding game

I hope it's long game

Good game and I agree with you not the biggest fan of Pennys design. She just looks off

Idk I'm really not seeing the "high speed" part of this game, all I'm seeing is any sort of momentum that's achieved immediately being wasted by a 90 degree slope

I really want to play it, but man it looks rough. And I'm not even a graphics guy. I played Pokémon gen 9 and it looks better and this is a very low bar.

I'm hearing such mixed reviews about this game. A lot of people are saying the exact opposite of this. I've heard the platforming is buggy and unintuitive.

Just rubbish, especially considering why Sonic Superstars turned out the way it did.

Too unpolished, not worth $30
