Makes me wish for a return or exchange policy, even at the cut-rate price I paid. I was really hoping for more humor and puzzles out of Shiny. This really plays like an early and uncertain FPS. You'll want to remap the controls to something more standard, but even then don't expect the same response as a modern FPS. You're often overwhelmed by rooms full of enemies as powerful or more so than yourself, and your only hope is to keep jumping from body to body, trying to get behind enemies without being turned into a game of 'kick the baby'. So far I haven't encountered any humor, other than the intro where some game developer argues with his 6 year old, which doesn't hold up well. I've played worse games, but rarely paid for them.
Is this helpful to you?
