I have fond memories of the original R-Type on the C64. This new incarnation reflects all the things that are wrong in the gaming industry. - Non-skippable cutscene at the beginning. This is and was a bad design choice. - Releasing this on the PC platform without a single grain of keyboard/mouse control is ridiculous. - The menu is probably one of the worst I've come across. Again, no mouse, way to may confirmation dialogs. - Politically correct handholding is not my thing. If I want to name my character "unskippable crap" and the second word gets CENSORED, the game and the devs clearly overstep their boundaries. I'd understand if the game was a hobby project in an alpha state, but certainly not for >30 EUR. I don't even want to imagine paying >60EUR for the "deluxe edition". Uninstalled immediately.
Overall a great game, great atmosphere. The negative point is the abysmal load times, this sometimes really breaks the flow. A minor nitpick are the stiff and somewhat choppy dialogs.
