Game looks great but achievements would make it even better

One thing I loathe about modern 3D collect-a-thon plattformers is that you can basically sequence break the whole level-design easily. My recent offender here is "Hell Pie" you can double jump + dash + swing up to 5 times, spin-attack + climbing on wall surfaces. Verticality or precision means nothing anymore with such an overpowered moveset, sure you might be fast and everything is fluid, but it also feels like i'm playing the game in Minecraft creative mode and just fly from one collectible to another,...

I'm one gem short on level 8 and I've went thru the level twice. not sure where to find it. I've gotten the one of the airship, submarine, building, cave and the 5th one. I'm missing the 6th gem.

I recently tried Macbat 64 and didn't like it too much. It's not related to the style, but rather the fact that the entire game made me do uninteresting things. Like collecting balls, where I just had to talk to someone. Or there was a not very interesting level with a changed perspective, and at the submarine level I had to drop because I didn't understand what was expected of me. Will this game be the same or should I expect more from it? Given the reviews and the larger reach, I hope for the latter....

I was searching around that desert level for like half an hour just trying to find the last crystal, I think it's the standees??
