The platforming sections are introduced early on, as are the numerous power rings you collect to help unlock areas by using the shoulder buttons. Speaking with NPCs is easy enough, as is movement, but when in the dungeons, this flat style proved me a bit of a headache when referring to the maps – I kept getting lost!
