History YMMV / LittleBigAdventure

* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: Speeding through the dialogue interactions.

** For the first game, the fact you were able to hurt yourself by running into things in the Sporty stance was a pain for a lot of players; this was thankfully fixed in the [=PlayStation=] port and the 2022 update.

* TierInducedScrappy: Sword combat actually has 4 distinct types of gameplay connected to Twinsen's 4 mood stances. However, the aggressive stance is the only mood players ever rely on and is [[ThatOneAttack ''quite'' overpowered]] if the player never misses a swing; leaving the other 3 sword moods in the dust. The lone exception being the sporty stance when people wanna fool around with its front-flip attack which is Twinsen's most powerful sword swing which doesn't offer much since you can pull off the same damage, if not MORE, in the same amount of time with the aggressive stance.

** [[spoiler:Funfrock]], the true BigBad of the game, can end up as this in the final battle if the player chooses to use the Ring of Lightning. Yes, it DOES indeed one-hit-ko the ''final boss'' of the game.

* DisappointingLastLevel: The final area you fight through in ''Relentless''. Not so much the final confrontation with Funfrock, but the path leading up to it after destroying the cloning facility is pretty dull. It's just a long boring mining road which includes one particular rage inducing point where you have to get by an invulnerable Dirt Excavator enemy with absolutely no room to work with.

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler:Funfrock is the true BigBad of the sequel]].

** For the first game, the fact you were able to hurt yourself by running into things in the Sporty stance was a pain for a lot of players.

** The final grueling walk down the mining road before confronting Funfrock in ''Relentless''. The Dirt Excavator that is almost impossible to bypass gets on almost everyone's nerves.

* UnderusedGameMechanic: ''Twinsen's Odyssey'' added a dodge mechanic for Twinsen where he sidesteps to the left or right. This was most likely to have been added by the developers in an attempt to resolve getting stuck within [[ScrappyMechanic knockback-loops]] that resulted in many annoying player deaths whenever they were trying to fight enemies within the original game. However, said mechanic is quite awkward to use due to "X" being the default hotkey, and the game can be beaten quite normally without ever having to rely on it. Honestly, most who play the game end up not realizing that the dodge mechanic even exists.

* {{Padding}}: The ''Island of the Volcano'' in the second game can be considered this, because other than the Mosquibee refugee cave, it's quite a pointless island. It's basically just traversing a whole island in order to get to said cave, all just so one of the Mosquibees can tell you where their queen was taken to. It's so pointless that there's no need to go to this island if the player already knows where the Mosquibee queen's prison is.

It's basically just traversing a whole island in order to get to said cave, all just so one of the Mosquibees can tell you where their queen was taken to. It's so pointless that the whole island can be easily skipped over if the player already knows where the Mosquibee queen's prison is.

* AssPull: Zoe waiting for Twinsen at the entrance of the Tralu cave barely makes any sense when you take the time to think about how she got there. Were supposed to believe that a heavily pregnant woman somehow managed to traverse a path that has several gaping chasms she would have had to jump across.

* AwesomeMusic: Both ''Relentless'' and ''Twinsen's Odyssey'' have really nice and memorable soundtracks.

* SweetDreamsFuel: The series has a very "feelgood" feel to it. There are dark moments though.

** [[spoiler:''Inside Dark Monk's Statue'']], the final level of the second game. One particular type of enemy that will fire rockets that hits for a ton of damage while another is ''very'' tanky. If you think you can just hack and slash your way through you're in for a rude awakening here, Ring of Lightning can only help you so far since the level is somewhat long and if you waste it you won't have any magic for the final boss.

** Aggressive stance's melee attacks leaves a bit to be desired. Twinsen can either throw a quick flurry of punches or wind up a slow kick which leaves him wide open to retaliation and, as stated above, some enemies can put Twinsen in a long loop of damage and pain.

* GameBreaker:

** The Ring of Lightning in the second game when used as a weapon is so overpowered it can OneHitKill the final boss of the game.
** The Protection Spell is just as overpowered if you choose to grab it from it's BonusDungeon. If your quick enough at killing your enemies, you could possibly complete the game without ever taking any damage if you always keep your mana up.

* AntiClimaxBoss: For the second game, you finally gained entry to the forbidden Island CX. You fight your way through the island fortress to the emperor who has been hyped up to be a major BigBad of the game...only to realize he doesn't have an actual BossBattle and takes only a single (or two) hits before succumbing to a PlotlineDeath to pull the lever that starts up the Emerald Moon Reactor.
