Hits the sweet spot for what I want in an FPS. Slower paced with enemies behavior that you can learn. Shield system that rewards taking cover strategically. Nice in-game and over-arching progression systems. I only played with the starting character and it took me 60 hours (probably about 100 runs) to finally successfully complete a run-through and it was still fun to the end. I'll probably re-vist at some point with other characters.

...Wait, people dislike this game? This feels like a predecessor to all the best platformers of the 2010s, even if it has a slew of its own issues.
Sure, it's thematically repetitive (a lot of the same graphics and music throughout). The bosses are dumb. I think the fact you need to get enough stars to unlock boss levels on Normal mode is unnecessary. But, like, the level design is just really good, and manages to pose a challenge without being TOO obnoxious till the end. Even then, there's not really too much shame in switching to Easy mode if Normal is giving you grief - you'll still get to see the ending and all.
It's quite the creative and fun indie effort. I'm peeved this never got a sequel. As fun as I'm sure the Destroy All Humans remake is, I do want Black Forest to return to this one day.

While they are not NEARLY perfect games, as they are very much flawed games thanks to all of the performance issues, what you have beneath all that are the best Pokémon games since Black & White. Great story, characters, INCREDIBLE music, and fun new Pokémon and mechanics.
I have been with the franchise since Red/Blue and this is the most fun I've had with the series probably even since Gold/Silver/Crystal.
My hope is that GameFreak either patches all the issues out, or take what they've done right and work to fix what they didn't in the next entry.

I took a long time before I reviewed this game because I wanted to get through all difficulties first and... that took a while. And it was a good while! The game is well paced, the characters all fun to play, and is generally a blast. Certainly the best FPS I've played in recent memory and what I wish Borderlands could be.
I don't think I want to play this game much anymore except maybe when a DLC drops, but I've gotten 90 hours out of it and those were 90 darn good hours.
Also being a cute bunny who does the flying sword was LITERALLY MY DREAM AS A CHILD.
