Oct. 2024

Neutral recommendation. Forgot I had this game in my library and can't even remember why I thought it'd be fun to play, but here I am.. I decided to go through some backlog and found this partially incomplete and now I remember why I stopped playing years ago. It's not that it controls poorly or has bad design.. it's just a gimmick, a novelty, a bad series of jokes/puns that I didn't care for then and still don't now. The worse part about it is having to speedrun both campaigns for achievements which in itself is never a fun task regardless of the game. You might get your money's worth and you might not. There are worse games out there.

A great parody of what went wrong in gaming industry, DLC that people hate aren't the DLC that adds new content like the old expansion packs . It's the ones that are nothing more than micro-transaction cash-grabs designed not to satisfy us as customers but to milk as much money out of our wallets as possible . Pay-to-win consumables, day one gameplay enhancements, and overpriced cosmetics to name a few. Therefore, this new normal is, unfortunately.

Funny, wholesome and quite cynical view on DLCs in the gaming industry. Still, the metroidvania concept holds up and it's a nice little title to finish within a few hours Oh, and don't be afraid... you won't have to actually buy "real money" DLCs in this game. That's the point actually. :D

This game is a joke about gaming industry in a year of 2013. Its still pretty funny but is outdated due to gaming industry going even further than we could imagine. (not in a good way)

May 2024

I think this was the first game I bought on Steam, took me years of building up to it to finally finish it.
