The gameplay falls apart at the halfway point. The problem is that ain't throwing platforming when it's not needed and they give you a character that's not fun to play and it involves luck more than skill. That is where the platforming fails. Rose Quartz sucks. I got stuck on the section and I was not dealing with it. The game is also far too long than it needs to be. There's all these nice upgrades, but most of the melee ones don't matter. That and it gets to the point where the level just over stuff with enemies too much, and they spawn it almost any corner on the side or behind you. The story is pretty much lackluster. Still, only the first game has the best story.
