Not everyone's cup of tea
The game looks amazing, sounds amazing--presentation is fantastic. Except… once you actually play it, the presentation gets old pretty fast, voices and music is too repetitive, and that's where the issues start. First: Performance optimization is horrible. I tried to run the game on three machines that fulfil the system requirements, but only one got beyond the loading screen. Second: I got the game for my son, and was disappointed to find you couldn't adjust the difficulty. He got frustrated within hours and that was that. Not recommended for kids! Third: The game does have a great art style, each scene feels hand drawn. And it does match the aesthetics of the period it tries to replicate perfectly. That is: IF you are into the US-American aesthetics of that time. If that's just not your cup of tea, it will most likely be a hard pass. Unfortunately, even if you love the effects, those aesthetics are all the game has, because: gameplay is far from perfect. The controls are oddly placed, sometimes not very responsive. There is not too much content: a total of 6 short platform levels, and 15 boss fights that consist of just one screen each. The boss fights are visually impressive, though. Except, when it actually comes to hitting anything? Well: The bosses have no health meter, no indication of how much (if at all) damage you are causing, and sometimes it is hard to tell what is fore- and what is background, or what can or can't hurt you. Not to mention that some mechanics, like the parry, are hard to use and/or badly implemented. Even though, you could easily get through each level in 5 minutes tops. The ridiculous difficulty of the game requires you to learn each level, memorize each stage and each of the bosses' attack phases and tells. Until, after an hour or two of repeating the same fight over and over again, you get to a point where you are good enough to beat the level. Ergo: That insane difficulty level has to be your cup of tea to enjoy this game.
