I'm not sure what's more concerning, me having the urge to replay this janky mess or the fact that I actually enjoyed it this time. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty about this game you can criticize. The hit detection is wonky, the keys are tiny and impossible to spot, and some of the level design is so stupid I question the sanity of the people who actually made it.

But it's also hilarious, charming, full of personality, and runs on one of my favorite video game engines. The weapons are creative and unique, the characters are lively, and there's honestly a lot more fun encounters and level design than I originally gave this credit for. One thing that helped a lot this time was playing with auto-aim on. I don't know why I've had an aversion to playing with it on but it's a massive help for this game and makes some of the weapons way more useful than before. I'm not sure if it was me being familiar with the levels but I honestly didn't find them nearly as confusing and irritating as the first time I played it.

So yeah, I kinda love this game now. Maybe you could call it a guilty pleasure, but I've never particularly liked that term. I like it. Sue me lol.
