Les Terribles
Been on my "to-do" for over 20 years, ever since first seeing it in a game magazine but never got around to do a full playthrough until few days ago. Let me tell you this game certainly has what they used to call "charm" or "soul" back in the day. In short that means the sum is greater than the parts its made of. Stylized visuals are so well done, as is UI, controls, music, movies, animations and story. It's all very likable and appealing. But... (a big fat one) is that all that is soaked into incredibly repetitive, punishing, tedious gameplay mechanic which overshadows everything else. Even as hard-core completionist I battled real hard to finish the game, especially in the first day. All starts with moronic save system which auto-saves your mistakes. It's just a single save, akin to a rouge-like. Only real way to combat this is via file explored and manually backing up / restoring "S????".LBA save file back and forth during gameplay (excessive Alt+Tab). No real way to avoid it due to horrifyingly done combat (with respawning enemies once you re-enter the area). Expect to get stun-lucked and shoot to death from beyond the screen a lot! Without afore-mentioned save scumming you'll end up in a mental institution in no time. In rare cases where you manage to get a first shoot in - expect to miss more than not because there is no aiming, only eyeballing on your part. Next irritation will come from running mechanic where if you hit an object your will bounce off in a too long animation while taking damage as cherry on top. Traversing endless map screens quickly is highly discouraged by design. Final nail is scarce of player guidance on what to do (or go) next. Enjoy very tedious backtracking and speaking to every NPC in the game while encountering respawned enemies and hitting every obstacle in the way. I used a walkthrough. Beaks most rules of gameplay design. Intended for younger and inexperienced audience who have the time and will for these kind of things.
