Big Hops Review – The Year’s First Great Game Is Mario Meets Breath Of The Wild

Even from the beginning of Big Hops, it’s clear what inspired the game’s movement. Hop controls a lot like Mario in Super Mario Odyssey, with similar jumps and even a sliding move to maintain speed. But it doesn’t stop there! You can also run on walls, similar to games like Prince of Persia or Titanfall, and climb almost any surface like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – though your stamina limits how long you can hold on. Hop’s long tongue isn’t just for catching bugs and fruit; it’s a grappling hook that lets you swing and grab onto things. All these moves feel intuitive, and a big part of the enjoyment in Big Hops comes from figuring out how to combine them all together.
