Colourful and action-packed in a way that I honestly wasn't expecting - it also runs butterey-smooth. I regret not getting this on launch, and hope the studio has more output to come.
I got Bears in Space on Steam. The game tries to mix the horde-style FPS opf Serious Sam with various mini-games and gags.
The first problem is that the guns aren't very fun to use and a lot of enemies are just annoying. Unless you've learned the wave patterns of the arenas youre going to get flanked a lot and flail around in confusion. By the way, turn off checkpoints and turn on auto-respawn, it's too frustrating otherwise.
Also, the "bear"-serk mode when you eat honey is limited to specific scenes.
The bosses are mostly bullet sponges with bullet hell patterns, but mostly they're annoying.
Until they patched it, the weapons also took way too long to level up by killing enemies, which made unlocking their potential a slog.
At various points you can fill up and buy upgrades at a shop, but often you'll feel like replaying chapters to stash up coins so as not to feel under-equipped, given that some sections are way too annoying. There is a doomsday device that kills you once you shoot it and it takes forever to rev it up first, the joke is flat and dumb.
The second problem is the writing. Very soon what little of it is thrown out the window in favour of referential humour and dubious parodies that I didn't feel paid tribute to the originals. Also the characters are either unlikeable or unremarkable, Your character is literally a cardboard cutout (as seen in photo mode) and you're basically strung along by the braindead bear that you share a body with due to a freak warp accident. Who, by the way, is an unsufferable character in the way of the worst of 2000s Cartoon Network and MTV, which seems to be the main inspiration for the writing.
The jokes tend to wear out their welcome and the game listens to itself way too much. Fortunately the dialogs and cutscenes skippable.
All in all, it's a passable game that fortunately got patched with QoL and nerfs to the difficulty, but the jokes won't carry it. I can't recommend it full price, only on a discount over 50%.
