Delightfully creative and wildly funny. Genuinely some of the best humor I've personally found in a video game. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself has aged like milk. The controls are clunky, design decisions are frequently obtuse, and there are multiple areas where the pacing slows to a crawl. I lost interest and was unable to finish, but I gained an immense amount of respect for Schafer's writing. One of the few times where I'll say something would benefit from a modern remake/remaster.

Played this frequently when I was younger and happy to report I still enjoy it today. Bit of a hot take, but I prefer this to the original. The spritework and animations are excellent and all of the fights outside of Hoy Quarlow are fun and rewarding to learn.

Wildly addictive for the first ten hours or so, but can't see myself playing for much longer.
