Gameplay is generally enjoyable and easy to learn, featuring a mix of 3D platforming and brawler elements with a humorous tone reminiscent of Conker. However, it suffers from a lack of innovation in later levels, poorly explained mechanics, and some combat issues like long attack animations and missing aiming reticles. Overall, while the initial areas are engaging, the experience becomes more generic as the game progresses.
“The gameplay is neat enough to be enjoyable.”
“+ easy to learn gameplay with unabashedly amounts of gore!”
“Great humor and enjoyable gameplay.”
“Some mechanics aren't explained well, like the spin jump.”
“I loved the humor, but the gameplay itself wasn't that great.”
“The first three areas are great and really give it a hobo feeling, but after that it becomes kind of generic: there aren't really any new mechanics or NPCs to get jobs from, and previously introduced ideas stop being used.”
