mediocre would be a compliment
This game is very pretty if you're into colourful, lush graphics. Apart from that, it is very uninspired - the story is painfully shallow and uninteresting, there are exactly zero RPG elements, levels are similar to one another. Essentially it feels lazily made. Even names of weapon upgrade items are lazy - "Something heavy", "Something sharp", "Something ..." you get the idea, several upgrade items named like that - how lazy can you get to not do better? There are only a few enemy types in the whole game, with some slight variations which don't really make them into unique enemies.
All that makes the game boring rather fast.
I played for a few hours, because I hoped it would finally develop in some way, but after reaching the final level I realized that was just it.
There are some optional challenges, but after doing some of them, it felt more like chore than fun (though a few were genuinely fun, I have to be honest).
One thing, which admittedly might be subjective, but was seriously offputting for me, was the narrator. I can't name it exactly, but I just disliked the way of narration from the very start and it was only getting on my nerves as the game progressed.
To not finish this review that negatively, I have to say that a few of the weapons were fun to use, I had no issues with controls and encountered no bugs.
I could maybe give it a stretch of 3 stars, if it wasn't for my much higher expectations after reading through all the praise in reviews and seeing the 4.4/5 stars rating.
I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it is definitely not worth its current regular price.
