Turns out cover shooting things offscreen didn't recreate the flow of the first game. Shame, the writing is still great

this game is awful, I've played it four and a half times

The soundtrack keeps me coming back. It's like if you heard six different sirens out at sea and they finished it off with a sick buttrock song while you crash on the rocks. then you clip through them

play Word Spud once with people, without explaining the rules. trust me.

At PAX they have a big multiplayer LAN setup of multiple copies of this game. I go every time. Every time they have a training session where they reiterate to HIT THE EJECT BUTTON if your cockpit is blowing up. EVERY time I go, someone doesn't. Every time someone doesn't, they have to recreate that save file from scratch. For the multiplayer mode.

I yearn for my own copy.

Needs a 1v1 mode before someone makes an IRL version

This really needed to be a tailored campaign experience and not a roguelike. Sounds like they got that and want to implement one? Still don't regret playing it.

The first part of this game is amazing.

The main narrative is a big whatever to me, and it's a shame when I adore the atmosphere this much.

Get out of here, Ash! We're clicking Pokémon, and you don't want no part of this shit!

Way too simple/easy and they should've removed the bp limit, but beyond charming. Really needs a remake.

Literally could not finish this game because this happened. But hey, thanks for burying the weird saxophone Krystal scene in my mind, Rare.

Campaign was kind of a short disappointment, the on-rails Arwing is really sluggish feeling after 64. But GOD this multiplayer slaps
