Looks like crap, runs like crap, sounds like crap, and the gameplay simply isn't fun. In other collectathons like Banjo Kazooie, Mario Odyssey, or even Here Comes Niko! it felt like you actually earned the main collectibles. They were either placed at the end of a challenging platforming segment or were a reward for completing some kind of task.

With Clive and Wrench, you're just wandering around these open areas and finding them scattered in seemingly random spots, which just makes them feel cheap and makes the gameplay loop boring. I can put up with the frame drops, annoying sound effects, nonexistant story, lackluster visuals, and lack of basic quality of life features, but if the core gameplay isn't fun, there's not much that can save this thing
