Played this game on vanilla PS4. Ran like dogwater, but I'm convinced that's part of the charm. I had a lot of fun with this one. Something about the game hitting sub 20 FPS whenever anything cool happened actually grew on me pretty fast. I think there's an epilogue/epilogue DLC but I never did it. From what I've read, apparently earlier games had more actual gameplay? That is, actual gameplay mechanics that you interfaced with. It makes sense considering this game is like, the most glorified walking simulator I have ever played. But as a compliment.

I'll probably try the earlier games when I can. (also hey did you know that the hit (lmao) shoot-em-up R-Type Final II (and maybe the original?????) features a homage to the franchise in the form of a ship called the 'Disaster Report'? It's an awful ship, it actually sucks. You should play both that game and this one.)
