It makes me mildly sad that I don't see billboards etc declaring, "Otogi - Myth of Demons is the prettiest video game EVER!"
'Cause it is.
It's not so much the beautiful environments and character design as it is the fact that the main character, (a tall slender samurai-type) can leap insanely high, and instead of plunking back to earth, he drifts, like a cherry blossom petal, his hair streaming fluidly out behind him. It's like watching the best dancer ever, in low gravity. If he engages in swordplay mid-air, he actually hovers as twirls and slashes. It's graceful. The environments give a sense of an intricate stage--or some underwater feudal Japan.
Also fun is the ability to interact with almost everything in the environments - mainly by demolishing things into massive mounds of rubble in clouds of dust.
