Shin-Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is an admirable yet flawed effort at a summer vacation simulator. Its nostalgic spirit and gorgeous artwork make for a comfortable hangout, but as its steam runs out at the mid-point, the vacation can begin to feel more like a work trip. A splash of magical realism brings welcome contrast to the genre’s trademark scenery, but the questlines turn from exploration to exploitation along the way. Though the Coal Town attempts to shake up the formula, I’d rather be fishing.
