**** STORY, **** CHARACTERS Seriously, are there ANY WRITERS OUT THERE? ANYONE? Who wrote this garbage!? Literally the entire storyline is "fight the bad guy" and its just side quests. 100% side quests. No story. No character development. AND i have to listen to WANDA SYKES be UNFUNNY? I mean at least its not listening to 3 whiny narcissists ALL THE TIME like in BL3, but seriously, **** they even trying?
This is literally the worst game i've ever played, ever. Period. And i love Rick and Morty btw. The experience of playing this game is literally this 'you are handicapped and everything is awkward and clunky, Dan Harmon wants you to know that he doesn't care about voice acting, the 4th wall, and he thinks video games are stupid and you're stupid for liking them. Justin Roiland wants to be somewhere else doing drugs. I got 3 hours into the game and made a beeline back to gamestop to return it. I've never felt so insulted as a player.
Disappointing. It's basically a more annoying-to-play version of their first game ICO, with better graphics. The puzzles are nearly all solved by riding on Trico, unless you have to feed him or open a gate. You seemingly wander around in endless circles with no objective or sense of accomplishment. Trico is annoying to control, and will occasionally sit and do nothing while you're spamming commands repeatedly because he's turned ever so slightly the wrong way. The gameplay is slow and tedious and lacks anything to draw you into the game other than graphics. Most game developers today don't seem to have any idea what actually makes a game fun to play, they must think if graphics sell movies, they can sell games.
This RPG is first of all, a crappy skyrim copy with final fantasy printed on it, and second of all, is literally annoying to play from start to finish, everything about it is tedious, too much travel, too much loading, the menus don't really function well, nothing feels convenient for the player, its as if they INTENDED for this game to be annoying to play. The battle system leaves you feeling like you have no control of the battle, nor awareness of it, i'm constantly baffled by my own party's terrible AI and surprised when all of the sudden everyone dies and i honestly have no idea why, or what to do about it, not to mention you cannot focus your attack on one enemy strategically. Battles are boring, you just hold 'O' till it's over and hope you don't have to use too many items to keep your guys alive. Enemies sometimes have brutal knockdown mechanics or simply ARE FLYING and you have no way to counter it, nor any way of disposing of large groups of enemies effectively. You have to create and equip magic spells individually (all of which have splash damage that hurts you), and make sure not to use up weapon slots because you need them for weapons YOU DON'T USE, THAT JUST BUFF YOUR CHARACTER, because there's no armor system. The story?!?! Jesus Christ. You made a whole movie to set this story up, and halfway through the story, the entire storyline simply vanishes and gets replaced by a different villain, whose actions are barely explained, and none of the old characters get any exposition, nor is there any epilogue. There is so much stuff in this game that is cosmetic and adds nothing to the game, and so many UI decisions that literally inconvenience the player and force you to wait and wait and wait. Wait for the upgrade, wait for the call, do quests and hunts, spend the night, warp to the car, warp to the rest spot, warp back to town, warp to the parking spot. It feels like a mess, it feels like its not cohesive, it feels like a frankenstein project they tried to smooth over, but could never get everyone on the same page.
I don't understand why this game is so hyped up, or even why it was remade on PS4. Things that piss me off: 1) At any given time, if any enemy has a shot on the back of your tank, or can position themselves to be so, YOU IMMEDIATELY LOSE, this is extremely frustrating, especially when you have to play a 2 hour long mission. 2) Movement is absolute **** having to move your characters around the levels is a pain in the ASS. You never know if they're going to make it to where you need them, you can't do it over, and if you happen to be in range of an enemy, they will simply shoot you for free until you are dead or end the turn action, which you have to learn to do QUICKLY. 3) The map, who the **** made this map, you absolutely cannot tell where ANY OBSTACLES ARE, the minimap and regular maps are absolute **** for as much as you can get out of looking at them, but the camera does this really nice pan shot through the map as it becomes the real terrain so can see how good of a job they've done of NOT REPRESENTING THE ACTUAL TERRAIN. This all being said, it is a very unique game and i would like to have seen this concept done.... you know... better.... with every single thing in the game being better explained and less counter intuitive and more forgiving.
