Honestly, while I like that Imaginators DID try something new with the map features and Mario-esque like level choice stuff, the actual gameplay was… boring. I’ve played a ton of these games, and they’re all meshing together gameplay wise. I wish they’d have smarter puzzles, kids like a challenge and to feel smart I kind of feel like the games are too easy and simple.
When I was picking up Imaginators, there was a 9 year old kid there seeing me buy it and when his mom asked him what he thought about Skylanders, he shrugged and said, “Eh, they’re a little boring”. And…yeah they kinda are now. I haven’t picked up Imaginators in weeks just because it’s bored me too much. Not to mention the story is a HUGE step back from the last game -3-
I’d love for the next game to try some new game mechanics, trickier puzzles, MORE DRAGONS, harder levels to beat, and hell a dark story would be neat too! Yeah this is for kids… but have you guys seen the first season of Digimon? There’s some messed up stuff in that show, and THAT was for kids! Of course the kind of dark I like is too much for kids but I remember eating that stuff up when I was a bab! The Pokemon show had some powerful messages that to this day I remember really effecting me. The first movie when you think Ash is dead? I freakn BALLED in the theater.
The new game felt too… uneventful. Go get this thing so we can go get this thing and oop there’s kaos recycle the same fight over and over okay no go get this thing and this thing… you get my drift. The make your own skylander thing is probably the ONLY thing I like from the latest game right now.
Maybe I’m looking too into it because I do LOVE Skylanders, and I’m an old fart so perhaps things are flying over my head. What do yall think?
