Contrary to my upcoming AVGN-clone series' episode on this, I don't entirely hate this game. I think this game absolutely needed another half-year of polishing. The game's hard and sometimes straight up unfair (snakes falling from the sky, anyone?), but I see a lot of ambition to make something really campy and charming. Lester the Unlikely is a game that chews you up and spits you out, but sadly not in the Castlevania way. It's much more rigid and frustrating to slog through, with controls that you CAN get used to, but you would just have more fun picking up any other game from that year. The music is forgettable at worst, and kind of memorable at best. I enjoyed seeing Lester get a confidence boost and gain an ACTUAL WEAPON, I enjoyed the feeling of finally getting a level over with, and even some cool stuff like the jaguar chase scene and the absolutely FUCKIN' BONKERS ending, but the game simply isn't worth trudging through. Watch a playthrough if your curiosity peaks.
