Battletoads, like its predecessor, is a variety game that doesn't do any of the variety stuff well. The closest the gameplay gets to good is during the beat-em-up segments and they aren't without their follies either.

Most of the problems with the gameplay could be waved off if they nailed what they were trying to do with the presentation but it's miserably unfunny most of the time with maybe a sensible chuckle at best, and while I don't hate the artstyle it's not the best thing in the world either.

I AM glad that I forced my friend to play it to completion after literal years of prodding however. What a moment of time Battletoads (2020) will be!
