One of those games where they went hard on everything except the combat. God tier story, god tier characters, a great soundtrack, amazing writing, but gosh is that combat kind of mediocre. Still a great game since there's dumb fun to be had in the combat at least but compared to the other games in the series wow this is a huge step back.

4 stars if you just play the main game, 3 1/2 stars if you're counting Thy Flesh Consumed as well. It's just filled with bullet sponge enemies, a lack of health packs, and just being generally annoying. The rest of the game is how everyone else describes it, you know "it's so timeless and great" and all that jazz. But gosh, what a waste of an expansion.

I don't know what it is but I just didn't care for this game. I love Donkey Kong '94 it's really great, but something about this game just doesn't click for me. It feels a bit slower and I think the graphics and music are awful but aside from that I don't know. I'd stick with the Gameboy game personally.
