The gameplay loop for The Last Guy is really satisfying and arcade-y, I really just wish it was more visually distinct and controlled better.
The concept of using pictures of real world locations as the maps you travel on is novel, but it leads to a lot of visual clutter and terrible level collision that makes it very tough to get exactly where you want to in a level. Outside of that the menus are presented in this 90's hackerman computer style that's not super pleasing.
I give this game a passing score because I recognize the conceptual value and like the core gameplay quite a lot, but this game really doesn't hold up with its visuals and controls being so janky. At least I didn't pay for it individually though, since it's on PS Now.
I do like it when the weird voice goes "THE LAST GUY", though.
