Kingdom Eighties Review (mirror 200cc)
They took the two crowns concept and removed everything that made it great, the couch co-op, the base building (walls are no longer really needed), and made it linear so that you breeze through levels and get automatically transported ahead. But they failed to do this properly, all you really do now 70% of the time is wait for trees to become cuttable, which seems out of place now. It may have been left in intentionally to drive playthrough time up to five hours from about two hours of solid playtime. As a theme alone it would have been great but destroying the underlying game with it is absolutely unforgivable. Now waiting for someone to pick up the two crowns torch (looking at you Monarchy) or playing two crowns forever. Vote with your wallet.
