I got no damn clue why some people are blasting this game on here but whatever I don't care.

This game is probably one of my favorite releases from this year. I got hooked on it with the SAGE2021 demo.

I loved how versatile the Frogun itself was, the game really radiates the energy of "If you think it's possible to do some skips here, go for it" and 99% of the time I was able to. Frogun revels in its speedrun potential and I had a lot of fun finding skips and glitches. It brought me back to the Gamecube days where I really enjoyed finding glitches and bugs and using them. The game does have polish for the most part, but you can pull a ton of crazy stuff that was either intended or not.

The game does have a few issues with it (most of which have already been patched or will be patched, even moreso with the Switch version's framerate issues in some places). I wasn't too keen on the grind I had to do for coins to buy every item from the shop for 100%, even with a grind-friendly stage. The bosses were also really okay. The final boss and a post-game one were my faves, but the others were just "wait til they stop moving to hit em" type of dealio which I guess is in the spirit of bosses from the N64 & PS1 days.

Visuals look really good and I love how cute things look in the game as well. The music is solid too.

Overall, a very fun game that I was happy with playing from start to completion. The replay value is insane as well because man I really want to find more glitches and skips.
