heyyo

at the very start of the game I was stuck for more than 20 minutes because I didn't knew that I have to press down then hit A

WHY CAN'T I JUST PRESS A INSTEAD

well anyways, fantastic start

as someone that didn't played a lot of bad games,
man this game was bad. not the way that it was like...funny or anything like that, it was just tedious

to the game's credit it had really great looking visuals, and acceptable ones on combat sections

but ooh boi the game itself,
I feel like this would've been better as just a bad movie, not a bad video game

the amount of pointless "go from point A to point B" which was like 10 steps away and then the next cutscene plays made the pacing so annoying and the cutscenes themselves didn't help either

and the combat? well it goes from "Mash X" to "sometimes hit Y" and then "sometimes hit A" and the B button is just useless because most enemies can't be grabbed or you get hit when you're grabbing them or even they break out of it so it's just what's the point just Mash X

the game doesn't explain ANYTHING to you, for 3 hours I didn't knew I could go into powerup mode with LT and the game doesn't even hint at you about any of the buttons and what they do until you pause the game and look at the visual representation of what every button do, which I didn't knew it was a thing and even then sometimes you have to do something that the game doesn't tell you about and you just have to...test every single button I guess

the whole "Quiet Man" mechanic of the game made the cutscenes so much worse, and no I'm not saying that having voices makes it better hell no it's much worse, although it COULD have been much better if the story actually made sense

it's just...really really horrible game design
this whole game is a failure of game design

like I can see where they were going with it, but they missed the mark BY A LOT
probably because of communication problems between the dev team

as a nail of the coffin I didn't even get a ending it was just a black screen

this game was a pain to experience
not only because it was tedious but I just feel bad about all of the actors, artists and the budget for this game
