Star Fox Zero is a divisive game for critics. Some say its controls are awkward, some say they are good. Some say its graphics and environments are drab, some say they are gorgeous. Certainly this game should be played with some discretion

Star Fox Zero's fun stages and impressive boss fight give me lot of reasons to jump back in and play them over and over, and especially enjoyed them in co-op until I got a hang of juggling two screens myself. I've played 15 hours and I still haven't found everything. Learning to use the unintuitive controls is a difficult barrier to entry, though it comes with a payoff if you can stick with it.
