Hello is competent and these elements I've described in only playing the first two levels would account for massive improvements in game feel that would encompass the whole game.
But y'all? 0. -2. 1. 1. 0.
Video games need to be more than just "functional", and they don't exist in a vacuum. What you gotta realize is that this is Hello's 3rd 3D game, and many of the flaws of Super Mario Prism is still present. A lot of this game's issues are fixable as you said and that's what makes it so frustrating, they are still not fixed. The game has no excuse to be as bad it is, yet it still feels worse than Prism in quite a few ways, that's why people are going so hard on it.

Claims of trolling and other inane s*** all wrapped in legitimate critiques of the game. That's the worst part. Y'all are deriding it with legitimacy but can't stop yourselves from treating it like something that is utterly nonfunctional. Additionally, this doesn't scale at all to the quality of the other content on this website. This isn't conducive to improvement, even if Hello is unyielding, and creates a horrible environment for actually discussing how to improve.
We have tried to tell Hello about issues within his games for over 10 years. I'd say up until Super Mario Dynamo, people were giving his games straight-up honest criticism, and well, it's not hard to tell that it didn't really do much. I could structure my review less like listing the game's flaws and more like telling Hello how to fix them, but will he listen? No, I don't believe so. It's been over 10 years, a whole decade.
Yeah, people might have gone a bit too far with all that, I'm not going to deny that, but there's a reason why.

I guess what you said would be true for someone who just glances over the game's page and sees the scores and comments. The actual comments could definitely be more constructive instead of "I hate you all." or maybe try to explain the context that makes the game as hated as it is, so I guess I agree here.

Has he? I'd argue and say no, I think this game is at least pretty much as bad as Prism, even when not considering the weird anime jokes and s*** in the game.
But if you think it's an improvement, that's fine, that's your opinion.
