This game suffers from what I'll call the "Red Dead Redemption 2" effect. Things take way too long. Menuing is slow af, but so is the whole game. This game is designed to waste your time. Thankfully, you don't have to bend over to pick up every single item. There are too many side quests that just have no real payoff. Every time the game does start to do anything interesting, it backs off of it and undoes it. I really enjoyed the weird/altered stuff in Remake. I was hoping for more of it or something bold. They did round out a few places, but every time they did, they added so much padding that just slowed the game down. Any time the story would start to get interesting, they would bring the game to a complete stop. Instead of making the mini games fun, they added too many and made them all kind of bland.
I'm still going to play the third one, but wow does this game just want to waste your time.
