The story of Star Fox's latest outing is one we've seen before, both because it's literally a remake of 1997's Star Fox 64, but also because it follows the familiar formula of so many recent reimaginings like it.
More than just a fresh coat of paint slapped onto a favorite childhood game, it introduces a rewarding challenge mode, slightly improved multiplayer options, and a bevy of brand-new, well-made cinematics that take a deeper dive into Star Fox lore.
Star Fox games have always had a relatively unique structure, where a fairly short series of levels are full of branching paths and alternate exits, meaning you'll never see all 16 stages or even most of them on a single playthrough.
A full seven-mission run might only last an hour or less, but it can take about 10 hours to see all the different paths and earn every medal on both the normal and expert difficulties.
The brand-new, fully voiced cinematics also really help to bring the entire cast to life.
There is a unique cutscene between each stage of the campaign, and unlocking an alternate route will even give you a different version of that cinematic when selecting the mission you'll take on next.
Yes, even Slippy, fleshing out their personalities to a level the original never did.
