While some of the platformers are fun, I find quite a few to be absolutely aggravating. As a ranger, your pet can get kind of annoying moving about… and putting them away only clears them until you take a tiny bit of damage by whatever means.
The awkward camera angles remind me of terribly designed levels from other games… meanwhile it often feels like the character is wearing roller skates when they try to stick a landing or they decide to just ROLL off, or just don’t jump when you hit space…
Anyway I think an option to hide pet until THE PLAYER decides to bring them out again would help, as would a first person view option.
