Janky Early Access
This game reminds me of early alpha builds, Postal 4 is a good comparison: The controls feel off, aiming is just weird, hit feedback has no punch. Ragdolls fall forcelessly to the ground, even worse: at a lower, laggy framerate. Weapon sounds are weak, animations are stiff. I could continue this, but the main point is: This is sold as a full release, for 40€. This is not only a joke but an insult. Give this game another year and it might become something. At its current state, it does not even feel likle a beta. Want more? - The menu breaks after a few minutes. Escape works, but no more settings, you cannot even quit the game. Happend to me during control changes. - The intro is not redone, it is just an ingame rendering of a random guy watching the original 480p video on a screen. Might be a funny idea, but looking at the rest of the game I guess this is another sign of lazyness, greed or lack of interest in the title. - The graphics might be a subjective thing, but the game ditches the thick black outlines from the original and uses a minimalistic comic look, now it looks more like traditional 3D models with some comic effects. Even here the developers insult XIII's legacy. I will wait a few weeks for a patch, but I doubt you can fix this in any time less than a few months. IF the developers even try to get this done. Again: We are talking about a 40€ full release! I would rate it way better if it was (1) 15€ or less and (2) Early Access. This is what it feels like right now.
