Man, I really, really want to love this game, but it's so hard. Visually, I love the game's aesthetic. I also, really love the music and the voice acting is really great. Where it falls apart to me is the combat and some of the mechanics.
It's basically just grind and bounce and shoot. Not to mention it's hard for me to discern what items are bounce-able. I keep wanting to bounce on tables and who would have thought bushes were bounce-able. Not only that, but I'm finding myself cringeing at the humour. It started out really good, pointing out silly video game tropes while doing very "game-y" missions, but the game is still doing those same missions and making quips about it isn't going to make them tolerable.
I want to like this game. I really, really do. I was excited for it. The look of the game, the pedigree of the developer, the fact it's an open world game. I just can't. I'm fighting hard to enjoy it.
Also, FUCK those tower defense missions.
