Summary
As a platformer Super Wil0o is a game that doesn’t break the mould or really push the genre forward in any meaningful way. It’s a shame sure but it is still a game you can enjoy albeit for a short time and get a stack of trophies for very little effort. It looks like an NES game and plays like an early NES platformer, collect coins, find new abilities and finish the level. The suits are a thing that is nice to have but not must have and sometimes it even feels like they are out of place. Overall it is a fun hour or so but instantly forgettable.
