The humor in this sure is controversial. I think it's just hit or miss. It misses more than it hits for me, too, but doesn't make me cringe or make me want to take to Twitter to post a hundred Tweets about how much I dislike the game's humor in those parts. I just kinda feel nothing when the jokes fall flat. It's nice when they do hit. I honestly think the biggest issue is just that characters talk too much and drag the jokes for longer than they should most of the time. Story is whatever, it's entertaining enough as an excuse plot, but if you play this for the story you're a goddamn fucking idiot.

Now gameplay. I really enjoyed it, it's a solid shooter. Its biggest issue being low enemy variety, but I enjoyed the shootouts a good bit. I really like the Pikmin gun a lot. The bosses are a highlight, they're fun, though the final boss felt like he was gonna melt my PC with all the bullet hell shit he pulled. Can be fairly hard too (on Bounty Hunter difficulty at least) but it's not too bad. Besides the shooting, there's some fun platforming and exploration, trying to reach hidden loot boxes and what not was the most fun part of this game easily. On that note, movement options are pretty fun though they could be a tad smoother. The thing is, you can do a lot of silly shit with your platforming to get to stuff in unintended ways, which is always really fun to me.

I wouldn't say this was a super amazing game (more of a 3.75 than a 4.0) but it was a nice change of pace for me. Just a solid 10-15 hours or so FPS where people constantly talk about alien cum or whatever. Not many games that just go all in on crass humor like this, so yeah... good change of pace.

Edit: GmanLives' review on Youtube kinda nailed it ngl.
