Core gameplay loop can be addictive as hell, but the game is mediocre overall. Vibes aren’t nearly as good as other older BGS games. Revisiting it for the first time since 2015 I was kind of shocked at how much you feel the absence of a lot of the things they normally do right, like iconic towns. It is easy to look past those things in the moment sometimes, especially when enemies are being turned into ketchup and the XP sound effect is constantly pinging in you ear, but as soon as you put it down, damn is it forgettable.
