General thoughts
It seems to me the dev had to drag things out so people don't refund the game in under or at the 2 hour mark. I really dislike the rng blocking the bosses do and I wish there was a way to reliably predict where they will block.

the bosses have too much health and almost every attack has armor or is uninterruptable. I wish the fights were as hard as evil rico but with more ways to interrupt attack chains. also it would be a great idea if we could dodge attacks while charging super punch, to make it more useful.

dlc review: I was expecting to fight more of the aliens/humanoids shown during the outro but instead we got 3 extra human fighters. The fighters have more interesting attacks by using delays and fakes, but they still drag on too much. It's more of the same with some included bug fixes.

Overall this one is passable and a huge slog, only play this if you want more punchout style content.
