Pre-release sentiment

Reactions to the footage are split, but there's a lot of excitement for the core gameplay loop of delivering packages and fixing up the shrine, with Pon the tanuki being a likable star. The big standout is the BMX riding and trick system, which looks like a blast, and the art style is getting universal praise. The main worry is performance, especially on PC and older consoles like the Switch, where people are already expecting a rough port. Some also question the value, hoping it's more than just a collection of minigames.
