I did play one of the other games I got for Christmas today, DK Bananza. Game is good but again I'm kinda crashing rn and don't know if I can say much insightful about it. I'm most of the way through the first layer, should just have the boss left to do. Game is much less of a collectathon than Odyssey and is more about just going through a linear path in an open level, which honestly isn't bad but I do kinda miss the openness of Odyssey. Cause like yes the levels here are open too but if the collectibles weren't tied to gameplay mechanics there just wouldn't be much of a reason to run around and explore, they're not tied to progression like the moons; the bananas give skill points and the fossils work like a currency that let you buy clothes with perks. The way you progress is by just doing the story.
