I know that people spent Kickstarter money on this, but the developers should have never released it, instead letting the speculation of what game could be Frog Fractions 2 live on for the rest of humanity.
That's why I'm giving it this score despite having never played it.

I told you that I wouldn't keep bloating my 5-star game list with anime gachas.
This is all "fun and games" until the developers randomly become cowards and cover a girl up with a jacket. They even almost did it with Makima of Chainsaw Man fame, but the fans weren't having that shit.

How bold of the developers to fake out with a "forgettable" cartoon bunny shooter, only for the real product to be an actually forgettable realistic shooter.
Think about it; the term for repeatedly jumping to build momentum is "bunny-hopping". The fake game would have unironically been better than this.

Twice have I tried to click with this game, only to drop out soon after leaving the Great Plateau both times.
You may have noticed from my previous logs that I gravitate towards games with deliberate pacing and setpieces, even if that means they are linear. Open-world games, especially those with reused assets, provide little entertainment to me.
It doesn't help that - unlike Skyrim - managing weapons in this game is an absolute pain in the ass.

Laura Shigihara's theme for Ancient Egypt is a swan song if I've ever heard one. A tragically beautiful representation of the fate that Plants vs Zombies suffered.

As someone who spent way more time goofing off in minigame or zombie servers than playing the core game modes in Counter-Strike Source, what is the point of comparing it to this?

This is obviously not as jam-packed with content as TF2 itself, but it's a masterpiece in its own right, being a perfect alternative for people who tire of the base game's cosmetic bloat.
Seriously though, the Jump Pads are so goddamn fun and I badly want them in the base game.

The best Smash game, and everyone knows it. Fuck Nintendo.
The only thing that makes this situation less disgusting than Mario Royale is that they didn't steal the game's ideas after they manipulated Twitch into shutting it down. Or maybe it's more disgusting because that means they haven't yet made a Smash game which is anywhere near as good.

It's honestly astounding how far McLeodGaming has come after releasing this piece of shit. I hate to say that, because the game was a big part of my childhood and probably yours too, but it ages worse with each passing day.
Even the atrocity that is Nick All-Star Brawl has polished controls and physics.
