I ended up having to get this title refunded. It's a good game and I wouldn't have bought it otherwise but I was noticing a few bugs that would result in buttons that were un-clickable and just being unable to interact with the elements on the screen. I don't normally play simulators but this was the kind of game you could kind of just kick back to and enjoy without a tremendous amount of effort but with a lot of unfortunate grinding. It has some good nostalgia in both the form of 16bit visuals & references to 80s & 90s pop culture for e.g. the 2 dudes sitting the pizza shop from Pulp Fiction, or the mutant Crocodiles in the sewers who happen to be like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & there's a lot more. The gameplay & RPG mechanics were fairly in depth, being able to pick your fighting style, train & earn skills was a nice touch. The story on top, albeit a bit cliche (like a typical 80s/90s movie) was actually decent. I had watched a group of YouTubers playing it prior to buying it and noticed that my version of the game was very different from theirs, primarily the fast forward button that lets you speed up the fights. After investigating to see whether there was a patch in the works, I noticed that the Steam version was still being updated & was a good few months/patches ahead of the GoG version. Digging deeper it seems the developers didn't want to update the game because to sum up what they're saying: "GoG supports & contributes to piracy of Punch Club." what's ironic is that you can pirate the LATEST version of the game... which would mean it was the Steam version. It's a real shame the developers decided to live up to the first word in their company name, otherwise I would have kept this game. I'm sorry GoG have to be the 1s to foot the refund though & hope they get reimbursed.
