I'm gonna cut to the chase, I love this game. I bought it after watching a youtube review and I can't stop laughing. I love the humor, the cutscenes, the weapons, even the characters (albeit a little shallow) just plaster a smile on my face. Sure the graphics look a bit odd and levels end with a bit of a jarring text box, but some how it all just comes together in a sweet comedic stew. It's like the creators stopped, looked at what they were creating and said "This is Ludacris, screw it lets go whole hog on that!" My only regret is this was a one off game and we will never see a sequel.
Just want to start by saying I love this game. I love its cheerful color pallet, cute slime critters, and even the sappy story is endearing. So why the one star you may ask, well it's because the game is showing early signs of abandonment. It starts with missing dlc that's openly advertised but is only available on every other platform. Next the Gog updates will be delayed and then entire expansions will be provided only on the other platforms. All the while the developers will claim they just can't do it because the Gog version is somehow utterly different to all the other versions that receive the dlc/updates. Then it ends with radio silence as they stop pretending to care. I'll change my review if they prove me wrong but I won't hold my breath.
Saw this game on youtube and it looked like fun, boy was I wrong. It's a constant loot, die, lose everything, and repeat type of game. The stealth is slow and aggravating. The camera zooms in when the flashlight is off preventing you from seeing and hazards ahead of you, but leaving it on alerts the zombies. Wheelie bins (hiding spots) are useless, and narrow corridors prevent you from sneaking past most zombies. Back to the flashlight you need it on to find loot but see previous note on zombie alertness. Loot is randomized each run, melee weapons are sparse and extremely fragile while ranged weapons are rarer and require ammo that's ever harder to find. Distraction items barely last 2 seconds before the zombies go back to hunting you, but the tentacle are the worst. They can only be destroyed by explosives but you won't find any, and crafting them is a pain because the need a butt load of crafting items. Just avoid the game, pretty much any other survival horror game is better than this.
This game is just terrible. Garbage combat, aggravating combat, useless camera controls, and on and on. All these positive reviews seem to caused by either rose colored glasses so thick they could stop bullets or a retro games are beyond reproach zealousness. If there was any justice in the world GOG would drop this game and refund everyone who purchased it.
I honestly can't think of a witty title to give this review so I'll be blunt. This game is garbage, an over the top grind machine with a pathetic joke ending. I tried a friend's copy after he told me of the games state because I didn't believe him, 40+ hours later and I realized he was understating things. Boring repetitive actions, a slog of a tech tree, lack of teased content such as the town, and an anticlimactic ending with a stupid dlc joke. Don't believe me? Look it up on youtube! Tiny Build and Lazy Bear do not deserve any of the cash the received for this tripe.
