Clearly a deeply influential game, with very strong mechanics but with a few issues that keep it from greatness. Still surprises me every time I boot this up that the shooting is 4-way instead of true twinstick. Hit boxes always feel a little off, and the aesthetic—while interesting and thematic—will never not be off putting. Despite its flaws, it’s still a game that can pull you and get you into that “one more run” mentality.
