Classic game I've always wanted to play. I wasn't aware of it's play style, just the world. But I wasn't disappointed. You guide Abe around in a 2d world with prerendered 3D backgrounds. He is very weak and dies to everything. So essentially you are playing a puzzle game where you die when you're wrong. Really loved the graphics and environments. Of course the anticapitalist story apealled to me as well.

The age of the game does come through in places. It uses a check point system that is very challenging, sending you way back when you mess up. Playing on the RP3 I could avoid this with save states, but without this convenience Im almost certainly I wouldn't have finished the game or gotten very far at all. That being said I couldn't get enough of the smooth controls and general comedy. This is worth a play, but my god do you need save states.
