Similarly, the climax is far more satisfying than Subspace’s lackluster Tabuu fight. And although there isn’t a whole lot of story to speak of, there is one moment about mid-way through the adventure that caught me off guard in the best possible way. In fact, I’m so tempted to tackle New Game Plus. The Great Maze quest at the end, especially, was just a slog to get through.Ĭonversely, I never wanted World of Light to end.

As fun as the side-scrolling sequences were at times, they could also be either dull or downright frustrating. Indeed, it’s difficult to argue that Subspace isn’t the most ambitious of Smash’s single-player campaigns, but that ambition doesn’t always translate to success. I feel as if I’m a bigger fan of Brawl’s adventure mode than most people - heck, Brawl in general, as it was my favorite entry in the series until Ultimate arrived. Going into the game, the real question for me was this: how will it stack up to Subspace? Seeing that roster grow as I played through World of Light just felt so grand.īigger doesn’t always mean better, but the sheer size of Ultimate’s map puts it over Melee’s replayable, yet brief campaign. Even outside of the campaign, you initially boot up the game with just eight of the 12 fighters from the original Smash title. As you steadily rescue and recruit the other 70-something fighters, it feels as if you’re amassing this army to fight a god.Ĭonsidering I played World of Light almost exclusively until it was complete, it was so satisfying to watch the playable roster expand throughout the adventure. I mean, I love Kirby, but starting off, it’s him versus all of Nintendo.

It’s just as the description on the main menu says - at the outset of the campaign, it truly feels as if you’re fighting in a world where all hope seems lost. Speaking of Galeem, the way in which this angelic entity kicks the game off is simple, yet effective. Simply put, the game made me believe I was fighting Zant, a Shine Sprite from Super Mario Sunshine, Krystal from Star Fox Adventures, Ryoma from Fire Emblem Fates, or any one of the spirits populating big baddie Galeem’s new world. Almost every battle feels lovingly crafted to suit the characteristics of the spirit you’re fighting - it goes a long way toward contextualizing what would otherwise be just a series of random CPU battles.

Spanning roughly 30 hours, World of Light takes full advantage of the spirits system.
