I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some issues with the pacing in this: the mall and especially the oil tanker feel like they start to drag after a while IMO to the point where the open level design starts to feel like a detriment to me (and the boss at the end of the latter feels like a misfire). But, god, outside and even in spite of that this is really goddamn cool. Controls feel really good, the style of it all fucks, the soundtrack is just a lot of constant bangers, and the subconscious levels at the end of areas are really fun platforming bits. Even if I don't love this quite as much as I was hoping to in the beginning, it's got a lot going for it and if Team Reptile want to expand on what they got here I'm absolutely down.
