Me: "So you think it's one of the best games you've ever played." Me: "Is that as high as your scale goes?" I like that Disney princesses will be in it."ĭaughter: "Probably 100." The question that remained: Did my daughter have fun?ĭaughter: "It's really fun. The backstory that they introduce early on is confusing, but once we landed in Olympus, the narrative became more about what was happening in the moment and we didn't have much trouble following it.
