Big Hops Review
Big Hops is a 3D platformer developed by Luckshot Games that draws heavy inspiration from Super Mario 64, featuring a frog protagonist with an expansive moveset. While the game's mechanics involving throwable "veggies" offer moments of creativity, the overall experience suffers from a lack of identity and personality, with sprawling levels that often lack interesting content. Despite its sharp visuals and bouncy music, the game ultimately feels like a collection of good mechanics in search of a more focused design, earning a 6 out of 10.
