i'm a decent fan of 3D platformers, but i really don't know about this one. other than its decent sense of humor, there isn't anything it does particularly well. movement feels fine but precise jumps feel like shit, switching hats/badges feel like a half baked and weirdly implemented idea, and only half of the worlds feel like they were made with 3d platforming in mind.

there are definitely parts i liked, though - going through the different levels in alpine skyline were fun, until i had to backtrack a billion times through them all again. and in the sea of boring ass levels in dead bird studios, the train bomb mission was fine.

i think this one would have benefited more with more free-roaming levels, or at least something more in line with the platformers it's inspired by (ie less stupid ass linear stealth levels). i dunno! this one's weird! it's got silly jokes and good voice acting but i don't feel real strongly about it. maybe they learned their lession in the dlc but it didn't grab me enough for me to want more.

guess it didn't find its way to goat town....

I tried this game once a few years back and, although I didn't play it for long, I just didn't like how it felt for some reason and it kinda killed my interest. I'll probably play it at some point. I've definitely heard more naysayers in recent times.
@electrode yeah this is one of those games that never grabbed me so there was a massive gap between when i started and finished it. like there's nothing outright awful about it, it's just meh
