My advice towards tackling World of Light is that "don't play it in long sessions". Break it up with other modes.
Indeed.
How did the last Direct "overhype" WoL when it was only about four minutes of a 40 minute long presentation with the delivery of the info making most people think it didn't even exist
I'll have to check out more reviews. But as someone that ONLY plays their switch in Handheld mode, this is kind of concerning. I mean I played the 3DS version, and overall it didnt bother me much. So I'm hoping its not that bad in handheld.
Interesting that the main criticism of world of light is that it's too long. It's crazy that we're getting such a meaty single player out of a smash(and fighting) game. I was certainly not expecting that and I am super pumped to try it out.
If by "overhype" you mean "explained exactly what it was" then I guess.
I think they should go back to levels with sub space did but have it be specific to characters
And you play characters in a chapter order mortal kombat 9 style
Instead of evrey level needing to be beatable by evrey character
That's what I've gotten so far from playing. I enjoyed Subspace more.
I'm going to be playing this 100% solo and online with randos. Are any characters or whatever unlocked only by doing couch co-op or online play with friends?

Exactly. It is not logical in a development and business sense too.
Yeah, if overhyped means taking up only 10% of an already long direct, with Sakurai explicitly stating how it won't be anything grand like Subspace Emissary.
I looked up the original Soulcalibur and I guess that's at a 98 on Meta? That's insanely high for a fighting game...I doubt we'll see a fighting game get a Metascore that high again.
I mean, world of light was the only thing I read the reviews for. I already know the gameplay and characters are great, and the reviews don't cover online. I expected to see more cinematics/story in it after seeing the direct's ending.
I agree and I don't understand why some people want to desperately change every sequel. It just doesn't work with every series. You can't fundamentally change games like Smash or Splatoon without destroying them. It baffles my mind when people complain about Smash Ultimate and Splatoon 2 looking too similar to their predecessors and call them ports.
They mean long as in it ends up dragging along, which isn't a good thing.
World of Light is looking mostly like a bust in some respects
Thats fine with me
Smash is a competitive and party game for me first and foremost. I really dont have many intentions to sink a lot of solo play hours into it

They overhyped it in the end by making you think it'd be more story/cinematic heavy.
We already knew it wasn't going to be big on story and cinematics.
They outright said the opposite.
There's no variety, so doing spirit battles for 40 hours is gonna suck when the only variety is a boss battle every 4-5 hours.
A lot of the reviews are super positive about it. Think it just depends on your tastes
It was kind of stupid to show that in the direct because they followed it up with 'don't expect anything like this!'
That's not the feeling I'm getting from reviews. It's long to do 100%, which is good.
Also, it's the bone us fans of obscure Nintendos stuff got this time, so I feel it's a bit unfair how people ignore this aspect. haha
As someone who mostly plays single player games and likes to collect everything in a game, WoL sounds perfect.
Soulcalibur was...I'm not sure there's been another game quite like it. It was a staggering leap ahead of everything else.
World of Light sounds like a Mode you want to play for a few hours then play Smash matches and what not then comeback to it. You want to break it up.
