Unless that's your shtick it's what a good entertainer should do.
Christ I want to go back to when you could just enjoy something for what it was without having to wonder if the creator would happily put you in a gulag.

I think they did that on purpose but I've had a couple of instances where the voice actor breaks out of character and giggles a bit

Oh yeah that is definitely some Roiland improv. It instantly reminded me of the Rick and Morty space cable tv episodes.

Apparently one of the boss levels plays out completely different if you use a certain gun. What a cool little Easter egg.

Yeah you can miss things if you don't have some guns in some points.
There's some good replayability fodder too.

It has multiple endings from what i read

There's one narrative ending per-say, but there is a very good sequel hook thing that I guess you can say acts like a post-credits zinger in a Marvel movie. There's no objective that leads you to it, you have to find an unmarked item in a location you visit once in the game to start that hidden-quest.

I just finished the campaign. I've never heard of Rick & Morty or Roiland before playing this game so all that sort of stylistic humor here was new to me. As for actual gameplay, I mostly enjoyed hunting for the lock boxes, I just enjoy that sort of shit.
I also enjoy arena/wave attack type games, like DOOM 2016 & Eternal, so I was right at home here with the more casual arena/wave attacks HoL offers. The game isn't perfect, but it deserves higher scores than the bullshit most reviewers assigned it. I can think of a couple quality of life improvements needed asap, with the biggest one being waypoint markers on exit portals when you're re-visiting maps for collectables. But other than that and a few other minor quibbles and small bugs I think it was a rock solid experience that did what it set out to do.
And yes, I did end up watching two entire movies in the game spread over a couple days as I ate lunch etc. Tammy the T-Rex and Demon Wind. I didn't sit long for the others.

I’m away for the holidays so don’t have my Series X. Played the first 3h on Xcloud and loving it so far. Have no idea how people would score this anything under a 7.
I do feel that a lot of self righteous super edgy media/press people wouldn’t want to be seen as enjoying this game. It’s very refreshing and they obviously aren’t playing it safe or PG with the writing/humour.

Finished finally. Loved the last 2 boss fights as well. Almost Nintendo level boss fights throughout the whole game. Loved the last
as well. I was definitely cracking up.

Very Waterboy lol. I was cracking up.
I definitely would have to replay the game to get every achievement I guess. Probably will collect more stuff and then replay it in a few months.

Don't miss the sequel bait achievement path and hidden quest. It acts like a good epilogue.

Go back to the mayor's office, you'll find something there to let you explore a place you couldn't before.

I'm having a blast with the game. It's running silly smooth on my PC (XGP) and now that I changed a few engine.ini settings to remove the blue the game looks fantastic. I know the humor isn't for everyone but it's a good game. Im currently in the van/ship listening to the love birds fighting. If iw as to rate the game I'd give it a solid 80/100. It's brings a simple, fresh and unique to the industry that is full of literally carbon copies.
I do wish you could skip some of the dialogue and I hate the sisters voice

Finished the game last weekend, Series X. Probably my favorite game on 2022 but that's mostly because I went in with zero expectations and tbh it was a major breath of fresh air compared to many other "by the numbers" games we see released year in and year out.

This game is great. Humor is outright retarded, so it's right up my alley.

Exactly, in fact the whole game is retarded, and I absolutely LOVE IT. Sequel NOW!
I'm so bummed I finished the game; it was so much fun. I'm going to go try to find the hidden quest and achievement

mentioned. I don't want this game to end, dammit.

Collecting all the chests is pretty fun. They're hidden well and the movement is so fun in the game. I got all of them in the first two areas so far. Just keep an eye on the radar for blue lines and it's fun.Exactly, in fact the whole game is retarded, and I absolutely LOVE IT. Sequel NOW!

Your warp thing in your house. The menu on the left, 1 step down, is a location menu.

Thank you. I was just there and maybe I don’t have that option yet? Or I did something wrong. I’ll check again

Yeah, might not have it yet. When you're selecting bounties, just back out 1 step and move the menu down 1 step. It's locations.

Tap A works better than you think for the green ground waves and doesn't waste hover meter. That's about it.
Just find guns you like and stick to it. See if there's a hover spot or grapple spot to fall back on to recharge shields. I wasnt stuck there too much. Did that fight 3x I think. Use your specials. Switch to eveey gun and use specials.

Just beat it…abrupt af ending but still a great experience. why I can’t use lezduit in end game? Booooo

Use Creature to get the hook bug so you can swing around. Use Kenny as your primary. Be aggressive, the fight gets easier with each guy you take out, so if you can take out two real quick you should be good.

There's a little bit of post ending content that makes it less abrupt. If you need a nudge:
Grab the card from Clugg's office. It unlocks the locked door in Human Haven

Thanks. I finally beat them last night before bed doing pretty much what you said. Really the only boss that has given me problems so far.

Finally got around to playing this and I can see that I wasn't the only one to sit down on the couch and just start watching Tammy and The T-Rex, lol. What a bizarre addition to the game but somehow it's totally fitting. That joke where the alien said "I hope this Paul Walker guy survived the apocalypse" had me bursting out in laughter but the best part is that it took me a good 10 seconds before I actually got it.
Pretty cool game so far. There are plenty of genuinely funny moments but there are equally as much groaners here, unfortunately. I imagine that they were basically just throwing everything at the wall and didn't even expect all of the jokes to stick, but then they were like "fuck it, it's a long game and we need to fill the time with something".

I like the game, but already tired of the same boring enemies after killing my second boss.

Man, I accidently overwrote my save file on XSX today.
Was fighting Nipulon and died mid fight. The game takes me back to the main menu and I hit continue. It tries loading but goes immediately back to the game main menu. I did this multiple times and thought it a gimmick to the fight as you are high and thought it was the game being meta on me . I then started a new game. That also kept crashing back to the main menu so I quit the game and relaunched it.
The game now completely starts over from the beginning.
Not too happy about this. Must be one heck of a rare bug as well.
