Yes, the gameplay can feel clunky and repetitive at times. The storyline appears somewhat messy, and the characters lack depth. However, despite these flaws, I consider this game to be a diamond in the rough. The gameplay itself is genuinely enjoyable, despite its occasional clunkiness. Fighting giant space insects and shooting their giant yellow zits is surprisingly satisfying. In summary, Lost Planet evokes that classic 2000 Capcom essence. It's definitely worth a try if you're in that kinda of vibe.
