My first 20 minutes of Donkey Kong Bananza were spent in the tutorial room with the “Press Y to punch” message persistently, or desperately, reminding me to follow instructions and proceed with the game.

It’s been three months since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched, and I still can’t stop thinking about and playing it.
