Idk man I really enjoyed this one lol.
The movement is so good, you can vault and wall run across pretty much every surface, grind on wires endlessly, jump on pretty much anything from bushes to cars, swing on poles, airdash, skim across water, chaining these actions together to keep your speed up and avoid touching the ground is amazingly satisfying and has a great sense of flow and momentum. If a movement system in an open world sandbox area is so good that you don’t want to use fast travel then I’d say that it did a great job. The game also rewards you for keeping the flow going with a “style” system, which can power up your attacks and give you additional perks in combat.
Unfortunately I don’t think other elements of the game really pick up the slack. Combat works and can be fun but is a bit of a chaotic mess, and mostly just revolves around grinding infinitely on a closed loop and spamming ammunition into the enemies below. You can’t fight them on the ground like you normally would in other shooting games, your health will get eviscerated extremely quickly. The game constantly encourages being on the move 24/7 so their attacks will miss more often. Again it works, but it’s not inherently satisfying. The writing is also hit or miss, not exactly a good thing to say for a comedy focused game. There are some genuinely good lines don’t get me wrong but like 90% of the humor in this game is just 4th wall breaks and pop culture references (there’s one point in the game where a side character unironically says “Huh? Oh sorry, I was checking Reddit.”)
I honestly could recommend you this game on the movement system alone it’s so good. In any case this game is super unique and pretty fun so I would recommend trying it out anyway, preferably on PC. It’s a shame an enhanced next gen version hasn’t been made for consoles yet.
