This is the closest I'll get to starring in a Coen Bros flick and I'm hear for it.

Great little arcade experience. Was rather surprised how many ideas and alterations to the simple formula were supremely solid, and the writing here is the charming snark and bite you'd be familiar with from the aforementioned duo's filmography. I thought about turning on Blindfold Mode for MAXIMUM IMMERSION, but the default look's perfect enough as-is that I didn't mind it too much, doubly so when they start altering the visuals to simulate closed eye hallucinations and objects passing by us piqued by light sources. Have to give props for giving me a good reason to bust out the PC headset for something other than a multiplayer game and/or a Discord call as well!

Could've used some trimming here, however, as this goes on for about an hour or so yet some of these ideas, such as slamming down cop cars, are only fun for one go-around, and the entire submarine section didn't really add much flavor to the intense venture I was going on. The completion range is to be 80-100km (roughly 50-62 miles for us Imperial System users), yet I got my fill of it and the overall humor in about ¾ or ⅘ in. Only so much I can laugh at people cuss and use ice cream-inspired euphemisms for drugs before it dilutes into being a dull affair, ya know?
