Mechanically, Duskfade is the lovechild of Kingdom Hearts and Super Mario Odyssey. Narratively, it’s as if Frozen crossed paths with Inside Out. But in terms of structure? It’s Jak & Daxter meets Super Mario Sunshine. This is a game with plenty of clear inspirations, and as a result, it doesn’t reinvent the platforming wheel, but it is still a delightful 20-hour adventure that will take you through some stunning locales, introduce you to charming characters, and strikes the right balance with its difficulty.
