What this is

A globe-trotting platform adventure where capturing creatures and objects unlocks new ways forward.

What you actually do

You explore open areas, platform through challenges, capture objects, animals, and enemies with Cappy, and collect Power Moons. Experimenting with these abilities opens new routes and rewards careful searching.

Verdict

Capture Powers Meet Open Exploration

Cappy's capture ability turns familiar platforming into a playful search for new routes, secrets, and collectibles across varied open areas. Critics broadly praise its creativity and polish, though its appeal is less about sustained high difficulty.
